#' @title Non-negative matrix factorization
#'
#' @description Sparse matrix factorization of the form \eqn{A = wdh} by alternating least squares with optional non-negativity constraints.
#'
#' @details
#' This fast non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) implementation decomposes a matrix \eqn{A} into lower-rank
#' non-negative matrices \eqn{w} and \eqn{h}, with factors scaled to sum to 1 via multiplication by a diagonal, \eqn{d}: \deqn{A = wdh}
#'
#' The scaling diagonal enables symmetric factorization, convex L1 regularization, and consistent factor scalings regardless of random initialization.
#'
#' The factorization model is randomly initialized, and \eqn{w} and \eqn{h} are updated alternately using least squares.
#' Given \eqn{A} and \eqn{w}, \eqn{h} is updated according to the equation: \deqn{w^Twh = wA_j}
#'
#' This equation is in the form \eqn{ax = b} where \eqn{a = w^Tw}, \eqn{x = h}, and \eqn{b = wA_j} for all columns \eqn{j} in \eqn{A}.
#'
#' The corresponding update for \eqn{w} is \deqn{hh^Tw = hA^T_j}
#'
#' **Stopping criteria.** Alternating least squares projections (see \code{\link{project}} subroutine) are repeated until a stopping criteria is satisfied, which is either a maximum number of
#' iterations or a tolerance based on the correlation distance between models (\eqn{1 - cor(w_i, w_{i-1})}) across consecutive iterations. Use the \code{tol} parameter to control the stopping criteria for alternating updates:
#' * \code{tol = 1e-2} is appropriate for approximate mean squared error determination and coarse cross-validation, useful for rank determination.
#' * \code{tol = 1e-3} to \code{1e-4} are suitable for rapid expermentation, cross-validation, and preliminary analysis.
#' * \code{tol = 1e-5} and smaller for publication-quality runs
#' * \code{tol = 1e-10} and smaller for robust factorizations at or near machine-precision
#'
#' **Parallelization.** Least squares projections in factorizations of rank-3 and greater are parallelized using the number of threads set by \code{\link{setRcppMLthreads}}.
#' By default, all available threads are used, see \code{\link{getRcppMLthreads}}.
#' The overhead of parallization is too great to benefit rank-1 and rank-2 factorization.
#'
#' **Specializations.** There are specializations for symmetric matrices, and for rank-1 and rank-2 factorization.
#'
#' **L1 regularization**. L1 penalization increases the sparsity of factors, but does not change the information content of the model
#' or the relative contributions of the leading coefficients in each factor to the model. L1 regularization only slightly increases the error of a model.
#' L1 penalization should be used to aid interpretability. Penalty values should range from 0 to 1, where 1 gives complete sparsity. In this implementation of NMF,
#' a scaling diagonal ensures that the L1 penalty is equally applied across all factors regardless of random initialization and the distribution of the model.
#' Many other implementations of matrix factorization claim to apply L1, but the magnitude of the penalty is at the mercy of the random distribution and
#' more significantly affects factors with lower overall contribution to the model. L1 regularization of rank-1 and rank-2 factorizations has no effect.
#'
#' **Rank-2 factorization.** When \eqn{k = 2}, a very fast optimized algorithm is used. Two-variable least squares solutions to the problem \eqn{ax = b} are found by direct substitution:
#' \deqn{x_1 = \frac{a_{22}b_1 - a_{12}b_2}{a_{11}a_{22} - a_{12}^2}}
#' \deqn{x_2 = \frac{a_{11}b_2 - a_{12}b_1}{a_{11}a_{22} - a_{12}^2}}
#'
#' In the above equations, the denominator is constant and thus needs to be calculated only once. Additionally, if non-negativity constraints are to be imposed,
#' if \eqn{x_1 < 0} then \eqn{x_1 = 0} and \eqn{x_2 = \frac{b_1}{a_{11}}}.
#' Similarly, if \eqn{x_2 < 0} then \eqn{x_2 = 0} and \eqn{x_1 = \frac{b_2}{a_{22}}}.
#'
#' Rank-2 NMF is useful for bipartitioning, and is a subroutine in \code{\link{bipartition}}, where the sign of the difference between sample loadings
#' in both factors gives the partitioning.
#'
#' **Rank-1 factorization.** Rank-1 factorization by alternating least squares gives vectors equivalent to the first singular vectors in an SVD. It is a normalization of the data to a middle point,
#' and may be useful for ordering samples based on the most significant axis of variation (i.e. pseudotime trajectories). Diagonal scaling guarantees consistent linear
#' scaling of the factor across random restarts.
#'
#' **Random seed and reproducibility.** Results of a rank-1 and rank-2 factorizations should be reproducible regardless of random seed. For higher-rank models,
#' results across random restarts should, in theory, be comparable at very high tolerances (i.e. machine precision for _double_, corresponding to about \code{tol = 1e-10}). However, to guarantee
#' reproducibility without such low tolerances, set the \code{seed} argument. Note that \code{set.seed()} will not work. Only random initialization is supported, as other methods
#' incur unnecessary overhead and sometimes trap updates into local minima.
#'
#' **Rank determination.** This function does not attempt to provide a method for rank determination. Like any clustering algorithm or dimensional reduction,
#' finding the optimal rank can be subjective. An easy way to
#' estimate rank uses the "elbow method", where the inflection point on a plot of Mean Squared Error loss (MSE) vs. rank
#' gives a good idea of the rank at which most of the signal has been captured in the model. Unfortunately, this inflection point
#' is not often as obvious for NMF as it is for SVD or PCA.
#'
#' k-fold cross-validation is a better method. Missing value of imputation has previously been proposed, but is arguably no less subjective
#' than test-training splits and requires computationally slower factorization updates using missing values, which are not supported here.
#'
#' **Symmetric factorization.** Special optimization for symmetric matrices is automatically applied. Specifically, alternating updates of \code{w} and \code{h}
#' require transposition of \code{A}, but \code{A == t(A)} when \code{A} is symmetric, thus no up-front transposition is performed.
#'
#' **Zero-masking**. When zeros in a data structure can be regarded as "missing", \code{mask_zeros = TRUE} may be set. However, this requires a slower
#' algorithm, and tolerances will fluctuate more dramatically.
