Matrix_checks Remove any column values that average 0. Further to this, also remove phytoplankton groups from the F matrix if their diagnostic pigment isn<e2><80><99>t present.

NNLS_MF Performs the non-negative matrix factorisation for given phytoplankton pigments and pigment ratios, to attain an estimate of phytoplankton class abundances.

Steepest_Desc Stand-alone version of steepest descent algorithm. This is similar to the CHEMTAX steepest descent algorithm. It is not required to use this function, and as results are not bound by minimum and maximum, results may be unrealistic.
