Paradigms
In short, Self-Organizing Map (SOM) defines a 'non-linear projection' of the probability density function of the high-dimensional input data onto the two-dimensional display. SOM places a number of reference vectors into an input data space to approximate to its data set in an ordered fashion.

Installation and Documentation

Installation
In the implementation of the SOM programs we have tried to use as simple code as possible. Therefore the programs are supposed to compile in various machines without any specific modifications made on the code. All programs have been written in ANSI C. The programs are available in two archive formats, one for the UNIX-environment, the other for MS-DOS. Both archives contain exactly the same files.

Sources available
This package contains all the programs necessary for the application of Self-Organizing Map algorithms in an arbitrary complex data visualization task.
