The GHSOM Toolbox contains several functions to train, visualize
and label a GHSOM. Most functions rely on some functions of the
SOM Toolbox.
For details on each function try typing "
help <function>" or for
full details try "
type <function>" after installing the toolbox,
in the Matlab environment.
The functions of the GHSOM Toolbox are categorized in:
 |
| | |
| |
Training
The main training function is "ghsom_train".
This function calls all other necessary training functions as needed.
The other training functions are "ghsom_train_grow",
"ghsom_train_grow_orientation",
and "ghsom_train_grow_sampleinit".
There are several options available such as the orientation
of sublayers, the initialization of the different layers, and
the type of error calculated.

Labeling
There are basically three options for labeling a GHSOM.
The first "ghsom_datalabels" labels each map unit
with the names of the data items. The "ghsom_labelsom"
and "ghsom_websom" functions label the map units
based on the attributes they represent.

Visualization
There are two visualization functions which normally would be
used subsequently. The first function "ghsom_visualize_grid"
draws the basic GHSOM structure and adds coloring
(e.g. component planes or hierarchy level) if desired.
The second function "ghsom_visualize_labels" adds the map labels on top
of the ghsom grid. Alternatively, the model vectors can be visualized - if they represent 2-dimensional time series data - using "ghsom_visualize_2dts".

External Interface
All Matlab data structures can be stored using the Matlab commands
"save <filename> <variable1> <variable2> ..."
(and "load <filename>" to load stored variables).
An external interface for the SOM_PAK data format is supplied
by the functions "ghsom_write_cods" and
"ghsom_read_cods".

Demonstrations
To demonstrate the usage and some of the possibilities a
few demonstrations are supplied with the toolbox. The functions are
"ghsom_demo", "ghsom_demo1",
"ghsom_demo2", "ghsom_demo3", and "ghsom_demo4". For details
on how the demonstrations call other functions use
"type <function>".
The demonstrations with documentation
are available on this web page.

Others
There are 2 functions which are used by other functions, namely
"ghsom_idx2data" and "ghsom_map_data".
The first is needed to obtain the sub dataset belonging to a
sub-map of GHSOM structure. The second is necessary when
reading data from the SOM_PAK interface.
Furthermore, a test dataset is supplied which has been published
by Kohonen and contains some animals ("animals.dat"), a dataset consisting of 77 pieces of music ("music.mat"), and a dataset representing musical performances of Chopin pieces ("worms.mat").
