I haven't used pkg:kohonen, so this is just guessing:

1. are you using an old version of the package?

2. don't call the output of function som() 'som'. As
people around here might say: would you call your
iguana 'iguana'?

3. have you used str() on your object to check what
it really contains? I would guess that it should be
of class som and have a component 'distances'.

If none of that helps then it's beyond me.

Hi All,

I am still learning R, but making, IMO, great strides.  I learned about 
Kohonen/Self-Organizing Maps in class and I would like to try to replicate some 
of the things we have seen in class.

Below is my code.  I am trying to create a u-matrix.  In the documentation on 
page 9 it appears the type of plot, dist.neighbours should do the trick, 
however, I am getting an error:
(Error in match.arg(type) : 'arg' should be one of "codes", "changes", "counts", "mapping", 
"property", "quality")

Since I am new to R, I figure I am missing something obvious.  Any help you can 
provide will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Brock

library(kohonen)

data("wines")
wines.sc <- scale(wines)

som <- som(wines.sc, grid=somgrid(5, 5, "hexagonal"))
plot(som)
plot(som, type="dist.neighbours" )
