Constructor Detail

TrainSelfOrganizingMap

public TrainSelfOrganizingMap(BasicNetwork network,
                              NeuralDataSet train,
                              TrainSelfOrganizingMap.LearningMethod learnMethod,
                              double learnRate)

Construct the trainer for a self organizing map.

Parameters:

network - The network to train.

train - The training method.

learnMethod - The learning method.

learnRate - The learning rate.

Method Detail

adjustWeights

protected void adjustWeights()

Adjust the weights and allow the network to learn.

evaluateErrors

public void evaluateErrors()

Evaludate the current error level of the network.

forceWin

protected void forceWin()

Force a win, if no neuron won.

getBestError

public double getBestError()

Get the best error so far.

Returns:

The best error so far.

getTotalError

public double getTotalError()

Get the error for this iteration.

Returns:

The error for this iteration.

initialize

public void initialize()

Called to initialize the SOM.

iteration

public void iteration()

This method is called for each training iteration. Usually this method is called from inside a loop until the error level is acceptable.

normalizeWeight

protected void normalizeWeight(Matrix matrix,
                               int row)

Normalize the specified row in the weight matrix.

Parameters:

matrix - The weight matrix.

row - The row to normalize.
