Fast Combinatorial Nonnegative Least-Square
This function solves the following nonnegative least square linear problem using normal equations and the fast combinatorial strategy from Van Benthem et al. (2004):
min ||Y - X K||_F, s.t. K>=0
where Y and X are two real matrices of dimension n x p and n x r respectively, and |.|_F is the Frobenius norm.
The algorithm is very fast compared to other approaches, as it is optimised for handling multiple right-hand sides.

Within the NMF package, this algorithm is used
internally by the SNMF/R(L) algorithm from Kim et
al. (2007) to solve general Nonnegative Matrix
Factorization (NMF) problems, using alternating
nonnegative constrained least-squares. That is by
iteratively and alternatively estimate each matrix
factor.
The algorithm is an active/passive set method, which rearrange the right-hand side to reduce the number of pseudo-inverse calculations. It uses the unconstrained solution K_u obtained from the unconstrained least squares problem, i.e. min ||Y - X K||_F^2 , so as to determine the initial passive sets.
The function fcnnls is provided separately so that
it can be used to solve other types of nonnegative least
squares problem. For faster computation, when multiple
nonnegative least square fits are needed, it is
recommended to directly use the function
.fcnnls.
The code of this function is a port from the original MATLAB code provided by Kim et al. (2007).
A list containing the following components:
x |
the estimated optimal matrix K. |
fitted |
the fitted matrix X K. |
residuals |
the residual matrix Y - X K. |
deviance |
the residual sum of squares between the fitted matrix X K and the target matrix Y. That is the sum of the square residuals. |
passive |
a r x p logical matrix containing the passive set, that is the set of entries in K that are not null (i.e. strictly positive). |

signature(x = "matrix", y =
"matrix"): This method wraps a call to the internal
function .fcnnls, and formats the results in a
similar way as other lest-squares methods such as
lm.
signature(x = "numeric", y =
"matrix"): Shortcut for fcnnls(as.matrix(x), y,
...).
signature(x = "ANY", y = "numeric"):
Shortcut for fcnnls(x, as.matrix(y), ...).
