Self-Organising Maps Coupled with Hierarchical Cluster Analysis
Description
Implements self-organising maps combined with hierarchical cluster analysis (SOM-HCA) for clustering and visualization of high-dimensional data.
The package includes functions to estimate the optimal map size based on various quality measures
and subsequently generates a model with the selected dimensions.
It also performs hierarchical clustering on the map nodes to group similar units
Documentation about the SOM-HCA method is provided in Pastorelli et al. (2024)
