[R] Self Organizing Map

2009-03-30 Thread glaporta

Dear list,
I really appreciate previous suggestion about self organizing map. I tried
to perform SOM analyses with kohonen, som and class packages, but it's not
clear to me if these packages are complete to: 1) cluster neurons according
to their similarities (U-matrix); 2) assign to SOM neurons variables names;
3) define the importance of each variable, like in figures 2,3 and 5 of
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2005.10.044 for example.

Thanks so much! 
Sincerely, Gianandrea

 Does this not work?
