+:description: Find Initial Bases and Activations for BufNMF
+:discussion:
 
+    BufNNDSVD uses Nonnegative Double Singular Value Decomposition which can help decide how to initialise BufNMF, by suggesting how many components to request (and what bases and activations to seed) in order to account for a certain percentage of the variance in a buffer. In general, using this process to seed a BufNMF decomposition should substantially increase the speed with which BufNMF converges and avoid especially poor local minima.

+   The method used to account for certain values before processing. Zeros in the matrix will remain zero when "updated" because the updates are being multiplied by a scalar, therefore it may be useful to change any zeros to something else before the process. Options are:

+    
+    :0: 
+      **NMF-SVD** Nonnegative Double Singular Value Decomposition where any negative values are first converted to their absolute value. This is likely to be quicker than the other options, but less rigorous.

+    :1: 
+      **NNDSVDar** Nonnegative Double Singular Value Decomposition where any elements that are zero are first filled with a random value between 0 and the ``average * 0.01`` (essentially small random values). This may be slightly faster but slightly less accurate than other options.

+    
+    :3: 
+      **NNDSVD** Nonnegative Double Singular Value Decomposition where values are not changed according to any criteria. This promotes sparse results from the subsequent NMF (because, with multiplicative updates, zeros remain zeros). This may or may not be desirable (not least because sparsity implies the need for more components, but also the specific domain might imply that reasonable decomposition just isn't going to be sparse).
