我一直关注R Kohonen自组织地图(SOM)的在线示例,该示例表明在计算SOM之前数据应该居中并缩放。
但是,我注意到创建的对象似乎有中心和缩放的属性,在这种情况下,我是否真的通过居中和缩放首先应用冗余步骤?下面的示例脚本
# Load package
require(kohonen)
# Set data
data(iris)
# Scale and centre
dt <- scale(iris[, 1:4],center=TRUE)
# Prepare SOM
set.seed(590507)
som1 <- som(dt,
somgrid(6,6, "hexagonal"),
rlen=500,
keep.data=TRUE)
str(som1)
脚本最后一行的输出是:

请注意,在输出的第7行和第10行中有对中心和比例的引用。我很感激这里有关于这个过程的解释。

您的缩放步骤并不是多余的,因为在源代码中没有缩放,您在7和10中看到的属性是来自火车数据集的属性。 要检查这一点,只需运行并比较这段代码的结果:
# Load package
require(kohonen)
# Set data
data(iris)
# Scale and centre
dt <- scale(iris[, 1:4],center=TRUE)
#compare train datasets
str(dt)
str(as.matrix(iris[, 1:4]))
# Prepare SOM
set.seed(590507)
som1 <- kohonen::som(dt,
kohonen::somgrid(6,6, "hexagonal"),
rlen=500,
keep.data=TRUE)
#without scaling
som2 <- kohonen::som(as.matrix(iris[, 1:4]),
kohonen::somgrid(6,6, "hexagonal"),
rlen=500,
keep.data=TRUE)
#compare results of som function
str(som1)
str(som2)
