The operation picks data records from <data>. The records to be picked are pointed by the indexes on <cldata>. A typical situation for the use of the command is to restrict the data records which belong to some neurons. As mentioned with the command mergecld, a classified data can be formed by collecting data records from several neurons together.
Example (ex3.2): The example shows the main commands and phases needed to restrict a part of the data by a TS-SOM. The command select is used to select two groups "g1" and "g3" which are analyzed in the second phase.
