Self-organizing Map: Structures of Welfare and Poverty in the World
The self-organizing map (SOM) is a method that represents statistical data sets in an ordered fashion, as a natural groundwork on which the distributions of the individual indicators in the set can be displayed and analyzed. As a case study that instructs how to use the SOM to compare states of economic systems, the standard of living of different countries is analyzed using the SOM. Based on a...
متن کاملSelf-organizing time map: An abstraction of temporal multivariate patterns
This paper adopts and adapts Kohonen’s standard Self-Organizing Map (SOM) for exploratory temporal structure analysis. The Self-Organizing Time Map (SOTM) implements SOM-type learning to one-dimensional arrays for individual time units, preserves the orientation with short-term memory and arranges the arrays in an ascending order of time. The twodimensional representation of the SOTM attempts t...
متن کاملClassification of Streaming Fuzzy DEA Using Self-Organizing Map
The classification of fuzzy data is considered as the most challenging areas of data analysis and the complexity of the procedures has been obstacle to the development of new methods for fuzzy data analysis. However, there are significant advances in modeling systems in which fuzzy data are available in the field of mathematical programming. In order to exploit the results of the researches on ...
متن کاملLandforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
متن کاملNGTSOM: A Novel Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Game Theoretic and Self- Organizing Map
Identifying clusters is an important aspect of data analysis. This paper proposes a noveldata clustering algorithm to increase the clustering accuracy. A novel game theoretic self-organizingmap (NGTSOM ) and neural gas (NG) are used in combination with Competitive Hebbian Learning(CHL) to improve the quality of the map and provide a better vector quantization (VQ) for clusteringdata. Different ...
