## Get default training options

### Description

Function to obtain the default training options.

### Usage

    get_default_training_options(object)

### Arguments

`object` | an untrained `MOFA`

### Details

This function provides a default set of training options that can be modified and passed to the `MOFA` object in the `prepare_mofa` step (see example), i.e. after creating a `MOFA` object (using `create_mofa`) and before starting the training (using `run_mofa`) The training options are the following:

- maxiter: numeric value indicating the maximum number of iterations. Default is 1000. Convergence is assessed using the ELBO statistic.

- drop_factor_threshold: numeric indicating the threshold on fraction of variance explained to consider a factor inactive and drop it from the model. For example, a value of 0.01 implies that factors explaining less than 1% of variance (in each view) will be dropped. Default is -1 (no dropping of factors)

- convergence_mode: character indicating the convergence criteria, either "fast", "medium" or "slow", corresponding to 0.0005%, 0.00005% or 0.000005% deltaELBO change.

- verbose: logical indicating whether to generate a verbose output.

- startELBO: integer indicating the first iteration to compute the ELBO (default is 1).

- freqELBO: integer indicating the first iteration to compute the ELBO (default is 1).

- stochastic: logical indicating whether to use stochastic variational inference (only required for very big data sets, default is `FALSE`).

- gpu_mode: logical indicating whether to use GPUs (see details).

- seed: numeric indicating the seed for reproducibility (default is 42).

### Value

Returns a list with default training options

### Examples

    # Using an existing simulated data with two groups and two views
    file <- system.file("extdata", "test_data.RData", package = "MOFA2")

    # Load data dt (in data.frame format)
    load(file)

    # Create the MOFA object
    MOFAmodel <- create_mofa(dt)

    # Load default training options
    train_opts <- get_default_training_options(MOFAmodel)

    # Edit some of the training options
    train_opts$convergence_mode <- "medium"
    train_opts$startELBO <- 100
    train_opts$seed <- 42

    # Prepare the MOFA object
    MOFAmodel <- prepare_mofa(MOFAmodel, training_options = train_opts)
