K-means clustering uniqueness of solution
Does the k-means clustering algorithm always yield the same solution? The initialization is supposed to be random, so does the clustering converge to the same result regardless of the initialization?

Switching entire network from float32 to float64 on condition
Since lower precision can yield significant computational time savings, I would like to be able to switch (mid run) all variables in my partially trained network from float32 to float64 on an error condition.
For example: I initialize all variables…

How to find the converging point of data
I have a data set similar to this,
x <- sample(55:100,200,replace = T)
head(x)
# [1] 67 95 97 91 98 81
And I need to find out the converging point of this particular data something similar to gradient descent curve. For that I tried the…

Convergence error of function svd() in R
When coding in R, I find the function svd() may sometimes throw out the error message:
Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv) : error code 1 from Lapack routine 'dgesdd'.
After searching some information in Google, it turns out that this error means the…

BFGS Fails to Converge
The model I'm working on is a multinomial logit choice model. It's a very specific dataset so other existing MNLogit libraries don't fit with my data.
So basically, it's a very complex function which takes 11 parameters and returns a loglikelihood…

Flexible design despite strongly dependent classes
I'm working on a code which needs to be extremely flexible in nature, i.e. especially very easy to extend later also by other people. But I'm facing a problem now about which I do not even know in principal how to properly deal with:
I'm having a…

How can I know whether the model is converged or failed to converge in lme4 without warning message in r?
duplicated
For example,
I can assess whether this multilevel model is a singular fit or not by
using isSingular() function.
Likewise, is there any way that I can know whether this model is converged or failed to be converged?
My advisor said, if the…
