- 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.
