1 2	T3func(X, n, m, p, r1, r2, r3, start, conv, A, B, C, H)

`X`	Matrix (or data.frame coerced to a matrix) of order (`n` `x` `mp`) containing the matricized array (frontal slices)
`n`	Number of `A`-mode entities
`m`	Number of `B`-mode entities
`p`	Number of `C`-mode entities
`r1`	Number of extracted components for the `A`-mode
`r2`	Number of extracted components for the `B`-mode
`r3`	Number of extracted components for the `C`-mode
`start`	Starting point (0 starting point of the algorithm from generalized eigenvalue decomposition, 1 random starting point (orthonormalized component matrices), 2 if users specified component matrices
`conv`	Convergence criterion
`A`	Optional (necessary if start=2) starting value for `A`
`B`	Optional (necessary if start=2) starting value for `B`
`C`	Optional (necessary if start=2) starting value for `C`
`H`	Optional (necessary if start=2) starting value for the matricized core array (frontal slices)

A list including the following components:

`A`	Orthonormal component matrix for the `A`-mode
`B`	Orthonormal component matrix for the `B`-mode
`C`	Orthonormal component matrix for the `C`-mode
`H`	Matricized core array (frontal slices)
`f`	Loss function value
`fp`	Fit percentage
`iter`	Number of iterations
`cputime`	Computation time
`La`	Matrix which should be diagonal, and if so, contain ‘intrinsic eigenvalues’ for `A`-mode
`Lb`	Matrix which should be diagonal, and if so, contain ‘intrinsic eigenvalues’ for `B`-mode
`Lc`	Matrix which should be diagonal, and if so, contain ‘intrinsic eigenvalues’ for `C`-mode

The loss function to be minimized is ||X_A - A G_A kron(C',B')||^2 where X_A and G_A denote the matricized (frontal slices) data array and core array, respectively, and kron stands for the Kronecker product.
T3func is the same as T3funcrep except that all printings are available.
