OK, not really all that awkward. In git we now support dropping the
"theta" (hyperparameter initialization) argument to mds() and mdsl()
altogether, meaning that the initialization is automatic (as if you gave
"null" for the argument).
Could it be that the "almonp" variant was overlooked here?
I have a case here with a term mdsl(dIPL, "almonp", theta1) which works
OK like this, but which fails if I remove the explicit 'theta1' in there.
With the other spec cases it works fine.
