For more details see the paper "Improved Interpretability of the Unified Distance Matrix with Connected Components" by Hamel and Brown (2011) in . The package provides user-friendly access to two models we construct: (a) a SOM model and (b) a centroid based clustering model. The package also exposes a number of quality metrics for the quantitative evaluation of the map, Hamel (2016) . Finally, we reintroduced our fast, vectorized training algorithm for SOM with substantial improvements. It is about an order of magnitude faster than the canonical, stochastic C implementation .' authors: - family-names: Hamel given-names: Lutz email: lutzhamel@uri.edu - family-names: Ott given-names: Benjamin - family-names: Breard given-names: Gregory - family-names: Tatoian given-names: Robert - family-names: Eiger given-names: Michael - family-names: Gopu given-names: Vishakh repository: https://lutzhamel.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/lutzhamel/popsom7 commit: ff552b1103277ae5fdb8ec2e545e02bc11f9ed0d url: https://github.com/lutzhamel/popsom7 date-released: '2025-03-02' contact: - family-names: Hamel given-names: Lutz email: lutzhamel@uri.edu
