For supervised version of the kohonen SOM (xyf), I wish to train a
map, and then predict a property from the trained map. For the
function xyf, whose basic call is:
xyf(data, Y, grid)
should the data argument contain the Y property? Or does it need to be excluded?
e.g.:
> head(somdata)
MEAS_TC SP LN SN GR NEUT
1 2.780000 59.181090 33.74364 19.75361 66.57665 257.0368
2 1.490000 49.047750 184.14598 139.07980 54.75052 326.8001
3 1.490000 49.128902 183.58853 138.02768 55.54114 327.4739
4 2.201276 18.240331 19.20386 10.74748 62.04492 494.4161
5 2.201276 18.215522 19.18009 10.72446 61.87448 494.7409
6 1.276476 9.337769 14.16061 19.06902 14.99612 363.0020
Is the correct call like this:
data.xyf <- xyf(somdata, Y=somdata[1], ...)
Or this:
data.xyf <- xyf(somdata[-1], Y=somdata[1], ...)
Ben.
