map.topo: Estimated Topographical Accuracy

In lutzhamel/popsom2: Functions for Constructing and Evaluating Self-Organizing Maps

Description

Evaluate the topological quality of a SOM using the estimated topographical accuracy.

Usage

map.topo(map,k=50,conf.int = 0.95,verb=FALSE,interval=TRUE)

Arguments

map	an object of type 'map'.
k	number of samples to use in the computation of the estimated topographical accuracy (default=50)
conf.int	the confidence interval of the estimated topographical accuracy (default 95 percent).
verb	a switch controlling the structure of the output value (default=FALSE)
interval	a switch that controls whether the confidence interval is computed (default=TRUE)

Value

1) The value of the estimated topographical accuracy. 2) The low value of the confidence interval and the high value of the confidence interval 'conf.int' if interval=TRUE. 3) If verb=TRUE then map.accuracy will return a vector with the accuracies of the individual k samples.

Examples

data(iris)

## set data frame and labels
df <- subset(iris,select=-Species)
labels <- subset(iris,select=Species)

## build a map
m <- map.build(df, labels, xdim=15, ydim=10, train=1000)

## display estimated topographical accuracy of the map
map.topo(m)
