The Kohonen and CPANN toolbox is a collection of MATLAB modules for developing Kohonen Maps and Counterpropagation Artificial Neural networs (CPANNs), Supervised Kohonen networks and XY-fused networks. These are well known neural networks aimed to cluster analysis and the study of data structure (Kohonen Maps) and to the data classification (CPANNs, Supervised Kohonen networks and XY-fused networks). A graphical user interface (GUI), which allows an easy model calculation and analysis of results, is also provided with the toolbox.
Help files
HTML files are provided toghter with the MATLAB files in order to help the user. The HTML help provides some underlying information on Kohonen Maps and CPANNs (see Theory section); it also explains how to prepare your data, how to handle the Neural Network settings and how to calculate the models. An example of analysis (on the classical IRIS data set) is shown.
