11.2 Examples

In this section VQ networks are used for classification in some small examples. The first two examples illustrate the commands. Then, a series of examples follows, illustrating some possible problems you may encounter using VQ nets. The last example illustrates the different initialization algorithms.

It is always easier to illustrate the data and the classifier in two-dimensional problems; so, most of the examples are constrained to that dimensionality for didactic reasons.
