-# Arguments
+# Required Positional Arguments
 - `α` Dirichlet dist. hyperparameter for topic distribution per document. `α<1` yields a sparse topic mixture for each document. `α>1` yields a more uniform topic mixture for each document.
 - `β` Dirichlet dist. hyperparameter for word distribution per topic. `β<1` yields a sparse word mixture for each topic. `β>1` yields a more uniform word mixture for each topic.
 
-# Return values
+# Optional Keyword Arguments
+- `showprogress::Bool`. Show a progress bar during the Gibbs sampling. Default value: `true`.
+
+# Return Values
 - `ϕ`: `ntopics × nwords` Sparse matrix of probabilities s.t. `sum(ϕ, 1) == 1`
 - `θ`: `ntopics × ndocs` Dense matrix of probabilities s.t. `sum(θ, 1) == 1`
