This follows a method titled 'Alternating Least Squares' described in the paper 'Positive Matrix Factorization: A Non-negative Factor Model with Optimal Utilization of Error Estimates of Data Values' by P\&. Paatero and U\&. Tapper\&. It uses least squares projection formula to reduce the error value of $ \sqrt{\sum_i \sum_j(V-WH)^2} $ by alternately calculating W and H respectively while holding the other matrix constant\&. .PP This file is part of MLPACK 1\&.0\&.10\&. .PP MLPACK is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version\&. .PP MLPACK is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE\&.
