[documentation] Clarification on parallel computing #17

Closed boyiguo1 closed 10 months ago

boyiguo1 commented 10 months ago

Thanks for the wonderful implementation of PRECAST.

I wonder if there's any documentation on which steps the parallel computing is employed. For example, does the step of fitting the PRECAST model via PRECAST() employ parallel computing, or only the preprocessing steps uses parallel computing.

Thank you very much.

Best, Boyi

In the PRECAST R package, parallel computing is exclusively employed during the fitting stage of the PRECAST model through the PRECAST() function when the user specifies a range of cluster numbers (K=3:10). Each value of K triggers a dedicated thread for fitting the PRECAST model.

Thank you for the feedback.
