BatchSOM {multisom}

Self-Organizing Map: Batch version

Description

This function implements the batch version of the kohonen algorithm

Usage

BatchSOM(data,grid = somgrid(),min.radius=0.0001,
         max.radius=0.002,maxit=1000,
         init=c("random","sample","linear"),
         radius.type=c("gaussian","bubble","cutgauss","ep"))

Arguments

data

data to be used

grid

a grid for the representatives.The numbers of nodes should be approximately equal to 5*sqrt(n), which n denotes the number of sample.

min.radius

the minimum neighbourhood radius

max.radius

the maximum neighbourhood radius

maxit

the maximum number of iterations to be done

init

the method to be used to initialize the prototypes.The following are permitted: "random" uses random draws from N(0,1); "sample" uses a radom sample from the data; "linear" uses the linear grids upon the first two principle components direction.See package som.

radius.type

the neighborhood function type. The following are permitted: "gaussian" "bubble" "cutgauss" "ep"

Value

classif

a vector of integer indicating to which unit each observation has been assigned

codes

a matrix of code vectors

grid

the grid, an object of class "somgrid"
