vaeac_check_epoch_values function

Function that checks provided epoch arguments

vaeac_check_epoch_values(
  epochs,
  epochs_initiation_phase,
  epochs_early_stopping,
  save_every_nth_epoch
)

Arguments

• epochs: Positive integer (default is 100). The number of epochs to train the final vaeac model. This includes epochs_initiation_phase, where the default is 2.
• epochs_initiation_phase: Positive integer (default is 2). The number of epochs to run each of the n_vaeacs_initialize vaeac models before continuing to train only the best performing model.
• epochs_early_stopping: Positive integer (default is NULL). The training stops if there has been no improvement in the validation IWAE for epochs_early_stopping epochs. If the user wants the training process to be solely based on this training criterion, then epochs in explain() should be set to a large number. If NULL, then shapr will internally set epochs_early_stopping = vaeac.epochs such that early stopping does not occur.
• save_every_nth_epoch: Positive integer (default is NULL). If provided, then the vaeac model after every save_every_nth_epochth epoch will be saved.

Returns

The function does not return anything.
