Description
Self-organizing maps learn to cluster data based on similarity, topology, with a preference
(but no guarantee) of assigning the same number of instances to each class.
Self-organizing maps are used both to cluster data and to reduce the dimensionality of
data. They are inspired by the sensory and motor mappings in the mammal brain, which also appear
to automatically organizing information topologically.
selforgmap(dimensions,coverSteps,initNeighbor,topologyFcn,distanceFcn)
takes these arguments,
dimensionsRow vector of dimension sizes (default = [8
8])
coverStepsNumber of training steps for initial covering of the input space (default =
100)
initNeighborInitial neighborhood size (default = 3)
topologyFcnLayer topology function (default = 'hextop')
distanceFcnNeuron distance function (default =
'linkdist')
and returns a self-organizing map.
