Kohonen's self-organising maps

Description

Self-organising maps for mapping high-dimensional spectra or patterns to 2D; Euclidean distance is used. Modelled after the SOM function in package class.

Usage

som(data, grid=somgrid(), rlen = 100, alpha = c(0.05, 0.01),
    radius = quantile(nhbrdist, 0.67) * c(1, -1), init,
    toroidal = FALSE, n.hood, keep.data = TRUE)

Arguments

data a matrix, with each row representing an object.
grid a grid for the representatives: see 'somgrid'.
rlen the number of times the complete data set will be presented to the network.
alpha learning rate, a vector of two numbers indicating the amount of change. Default is to decline linearly from 0.05 to 0.01 over rlen updates.
radius the radius of the neighbourhood, either given as a single number or a vector (start, stop). If it is given as a single number the radius will run from the given number to the negative value of that number; as soon as the neighbourhood gets smaller than one only the winning unit will be updated. The default is to start with a value that covers 2/3 of all unit-to-unit distances.
init the initial representatives, represented as a matrix. If missing, chosen (without replacement) randomly from 'data'.
toroidal if TRUE, the edges of the map are joined. Note that in a hexagonal toroidal map, the number of rows must be even.
n.hood the shape of the neighbourhood, either "circular" or "square". The latter is the default for rectangular maps, the former for hexagonal maps.
keep.data save data in return object.

Value

an object of class "kohonen" with components

data data matrix, only returned if keep.data == TRUE.
grid the grid, an object of class "somgrid".
codes a matrix of code vectors.
changes vector of mean average deviations from code vectors.
unit.classif winning units for all data objects, only returned if keep.data == TRUE.
distances distances of objects to their corresponding winning unit, only returned if keep.data == TRUE.
toroidal whether a toroidal map is used.
method the type of som, here "som".

Examples

data(wines)
set.seed(7)

training <- sample(nrow(wines), 120)
Xtraining <- scale(wines[training, ])
Xtest <- scale(wines[-training, ],
               center = attr(Xtraining, "scaled:center"),
               scale = attr(Xtraining, "scaled:scale"))

som.wines <- som(Xtraining, grid = somgrid(5, 5, "hexagonal"))

som.prediction <- predict(som.wines, newdata = Xtest,
          trainX = Xtraining,
          trainY = factor(wine.classes[training]))
table(wine.classes[-training], som.prediction$prediction)
