- Hi,
-
- What are the factors affecting the decision of using ART/Kohonen map
- for clustering ?
-
- My understanding is that Kohonen Map can be used when the # of
- clusters can be fixed before hand, and there is noise in the input
- patterns.
-
- ART, seems to be used when # of clusters are unspecified [incremental
- addition of clusters ?] and the input patterns are free of noise.
-
- Can somebody clarify these points ?
-
- I would appreciate all replies. Please email to
- vsvankay@acs.ucalgary.ca.
-
- Thanx veryu much.
-
- Cheers,
- Vidya
