Pre-selection of rows for datatable when checkbox plugin used

Haven't yet seen an example of this anywhere. My multi-selection datatable loads from an array and uses a Gyrocode checkbox plugin to build a checkbox column. I'm fine with assigning user selections to an array - see button at top of table which outputs to console. However, I need to send one, or several, pre-selections to the datatable on initialisation so that the table starts up with those selections already highlighted and checked. Those selections can change, so I guess they'd need to be sent to the table as a variable of some sort. I'm stumped as to how to do this with my data structured as it is, although ideally I want to keep it as it is. Any ideas anyone? https://jsfiddle.net/sg0o3bwL/1/
