#' computeFrobeniusNorm (internal function)
#'
#' Compute the Frobenius norm of a numeric matrix (if this matrix is the 
#' difference between two matrices, then this corresponds to the Frobenius 
#' distance between these two matrices).
#'
#' @usage computeFrobeniusNorm(A)
#' @param A The numeric matrix.
#' @return The Frobenius norm.

#' computeRSS (internal function)
#'
#' Compute the residual sum of squares (RSS), i.e., the sum of squared errors.
#'
#' @usage computeRSS(x, y)
#' @param x The first numeric object (e.g., matrix).
#' @param y The second numeric object (of the same type as \code{x}).
#' @return The RSS.

#' roundIntegerSum (internal function)
#'
#' update a numeric vector such that it's composed of integers and its sum
#' reaches a desired total. Positive or negative discrepancies are distributed
#' proportionally between the summands.
#'
#' @usage roundIntegerSum(vec, targetSum)
#' @param vec Vector of integers.
#' @param targetSum The target sum to be reached.
#' @return The updated vector with the desired total sum.
