Table 1.

Summary of parameter values used in our application of Algorithm 2.

Parameter Value Definition
r Varies Maximum rank of J
π1, … , πr Varies Constraint signs
ϵmax 0.5 Maximum value of the regularization parameters
ngrid 501 Number of different values the regularization parameter can assume forming a uniform grid from 0 to ϵmax
Ttrain 70% of samples Indices of data samples that form the training set
TCV 20% of samples Indices of data samples that form the cross-validation set
Mmax 20 Maximum number of iterations of the block coordinate descent algorithm
δp 0 (machine precision) Convergence precision
σmax 3 Number of allowed failures to improve cross-validation performance

Since the convergence precision, δp, is set to zero, the algorithm converges when the negative log-likelihood evaluated on the cross-validation set does not decrease above machine precision. The constraint signs are assigned to equal numbers of positive and negative components.
