Spreading the groups of core neurons

 

somsprd Spread groups
-s <som> name of the TS-SOM
-w <prototypes> data for prototypes
-c <core-groups> the core of the groups
-cout <results> resulting groups

This operation spreads the core groups over the rest of the SOM. New neurons are bound to existing groups from their neighborhood based on the U-matrix distances. The closest neurons are enclosed into a group.

Example: As an example, four neurons have been selected to be the core of the groups. Then, somsprd is used to collect the rest of the neurons to these groups.
