Figure 14.8 Self Organizing Map Option in the Control Panel 

Some of the options on the panel are described in Iterative Clustering Report. The remaining options are described below.

N Rows

The number of rows in the cluster grid.

N Columns

The number of columns in the cluster grid.

Bandwidth

Specifies the effect of neighboring clusters for predicting centroids. A smaller bandwidth results in putting more weight on closer clusters.

Advanced Controls

The following advanced controls are available:

Maximum Iterations

The maximum number of iterations of the convergence stage of the EM algorithm.
