similar to: Question on SOM and clustering

Hi. Three years ago, I've read the question of availability of SOM library for R using Kohonen's SOM_PAK in this mailing-list. This answer was no availability. And no package dealing with SOM in CRAN. Is this situation same? Could you tell me availability this library? Best Regards.

Hi all, I have a question about the SOM routine. You can either supply the initial representatives for the lattice yourself or else they are chosen randomly from the dataset. Is it possible to pass the random-seed as an argument somehow, when choosing the random initialisation of the lattice? As it is now, each time I run a SOM on a dataset with the same settings the resulting SOM will still

Hi all, I was wondering whether it is possible to plot math functions, for example sin, cos or a Gaussian type function, in R, and if so, how to do it. I have been searching through the archives and the R manual but had no luck in finding any hints on how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks, Jonck

Hi all, I am running a series of experiments where after manipulating my data I run several clustering algorithms (agnes, diana and a clustering method of my own) on the data. I wanted to determine which clustering method did the best job, so therefore I had defined my own quality measure using two criteria: compactness of the data within the clusters themselves and the amount of seperation

Hi all, I'm currently working with a dataset that has quite a few missing values and after some investigation I figured that multiple imputation is probably the best solution to handle the missing data in my case. I found several references to functions in S-Plus that perform multiple imputation (NORM, CAT, MIX, PAN). Does R have corresponding functions? I searched the archives but was not

Hi All, I'm looking for some reference paper about SOM (self organizing map) algorithm. I tried the paper which is mentioned in the help page of function "som (package:som)": http://www.cis.hut.fi/research/papers/som_tr96.ps.Z But I can't open it for some reason. Could you please help me with it ? Thanks a lot! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I have (yet another) question about a function in R. What I would like to do is test for the presence of a certain value in a vector, and have the positions that this value is at returned to me. For example, let's say I have a vector: x <- c(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4) Now I would like a function that would return positions 3 and 4 should I test for the value "2". Or 5 and 6

Hi all, I am having a bit of trouble with the array structure of R. What I want to do is dynamically add/remove elements to an array. For example: Let's say I have created an array: > myArray <- array(c(3,8), dim=c(1,2)) > myArray [,1] [,2] [1,] 3 8 And I now want to, for example, push an element (5,6) on to this array so it will read: [,1] [,2] [1,] 3 8

Does anyone know of any SOM library for R? or any stand alone freeware? A search from google returns SOM_PAK 3.1 developed at Helsinki University of Technology. Is there newer version?

Is there an implementation of the SOM ('Self Organizing Map') procedure in R ? I am aware of the implementations of Sammon mapping, multidimensional scaling and, somewhat peripherally, principal curves and projection pursuit .. but not SOM per se as far as I can see. Am I missing something? --------------------- for anyone interesed in SOM I found Samuel Kaski's thesis

All, The kohonen predict function is returning NA for SOM predictions regardless of data used... even the package example for a SOM using wine data is returning NA's Does anyone have a working example SOM. Also, what is the purpose of trainY, what would be the dependent data for an unsupervised SOM? As may be apparent to you by my questions, I am very new to kohonen maps and am very grateful

I have a data set with 10 variables, and about 8000 instances (or objects/rows/samples). In addition I have one more ('class') variable that I have about 10 instances for, but for which I wish to impute values for. I am a little confused how to go about doing this, mostly as I'm not well-versed in it. Do I train the SOM with a data object that contains just the first 10 variables

Hi there, Sorry for the double email. Does R have the packages for the following clustering methods? And if it does, what the commands for them? 1. SOM (Self-organization map) 2. Graph partitioning: 3. Neural network 4. Probability Binning Thank you very much! Linda [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, I read the SOM package manual but I don't understand how to perform (for example) 1) the SOM analysis on Iris data 2) with a visualization similar to that of figure 7 in http://www.cis.hut.fi/projects/somtoolbox/package/papers/techrep.pdf Any suggestion?

Hi all, A short while ago I asked a question about multiple imputation and I got several helpful replies, thanks! I have untill now tried to use the packages mice and norm but both give me errors however. mice does not even run to start with and gives me the following error right away: iter imp variable 1 1 Liquidity.ratioError in chol((v + t(v))/2) : the leading minor of order 1 is not

HI, Dear R community, I am using the following codes to do the som. I tried to label the notes by the majority vote. either through mapping or prediction. I attached my output, the left one dont have any labels in the note, the right one has more than one label in each note. I need to have only one label for each note either by majority vote or prediction. Can anyone give some suggestions or

Hi all, I originally posted this to the bioconductor group, but maybe it's better suited to the r-help... I'm using som() to partition samples of gene expression data into clusters. The point is to classify control vs. experimental cases (sample clustering). The original matrix was 22283 x 8. The 8 samples have 4 controls and 4 experimentals. I transposed the matrix so that its dim

Bug in "SOM" package in R. This simple code withot for loop runs:-------simple.r-------- library(som) A <- as.matrix(read.table("C:/code/h.txt", sep="\t", header=TRUE, row.names=1)) print(som(A,1,2)$visual) print(som(A,1,3)$visual) ---------------------------------------- The same code if inserted in for loop generates "Assertion failure" in

I am trying to understand how the SOM algorithm works using library(class) SOM function. I have a 1000*10 matrix and I want to be able to summarize the different types of 10-element vectors. In my real world case it is likely that most of the 1000 values are of one kind the rest of other (this is an oversimplification). Say for example: InputA<-matrix(cos(1:10),nrow=900,ncol=10,byrow=TRUE)
