sTrainology: Function to define trainology (training environment)

Description Usage Arguments Value Note See Also Examples

View source: R/sTrainology.r

Description

sTrainology is supposed to define the train-ology (i.e., the training environment/parameters). The trainology here refers to the training algorithm, the training stage, the stage-specific parameters (alpha type, initial alpha, initial radius, final radius and train length), and the training neighbor kernel used. It returns an object of class "sTrain".

alphaType = c("invert", "linear", "power"),
neighKernel = c("gaussian", "bubble", "cutgaussian", "ep", "gamma")
)

Arguments

sMap

an object of class "sMap" or "sInit"

data

a data frame or matrix of input data

algorithm

the training algorithm. It can be one of "sequential" and "batch" algorithm

stage

the training stage. The training can be achieved using two stages (i.e., "rough" and "finetune") or one stage only (i.e., "complete")

alphaType

the alpha type. It can be one of "invert", "linear" and "power" alpha types

neighKernel

the training neighbor kernel. It can be one of "gaussian", "bubble", "cutgaussian", "ep" and "gamma" kernels

Value

an object of class "sTrain", a list with following components:

Note

Training stage-specific parameters:

# 1) generate an iid normal random matrix of 100x10 
data <- matrix( rnorm(100*10,mean=0,sd=1), nrow=100, ncol=10)

# 2) from this input matrix, determine nHex=5*sqrt(nrow(data))=50, 
# but it returns nHex=61, via "sHexGrid(nHex=50)", to make sure a supra-hexagonal grid
sTopol <- sTopology(data=data, lattice="hexa", shape="suprahex")

# 3) initialise the codebook matrix using "uniform" method
sI <- sInitial(data=data, sTopol=sTopol, init="uniform")

# 4) define trainology at different stages
# 4a) define trainology at "rough" stage
sT_rough <- sTrainology(sMap=sI, data=data, stage="rough")
# 4b) define trainology at "finetune" stage
sT_finetune <- sTrainology(sMap=sI, data=data, stage="finetune")
# 4c) define trainology using "complete" stage
sT_complete <- sTrainology(sMap=sI, data=data, stage="complete")
