I haven't used pkg:kohonen, so this is just guessing: 1. are you using an old version of the package?
I deleted the original email, so I'll reply here instead. The example provided by the OP works for me with on R 2.10-patched and:
packageDescription("kohonen")$Version
[1] "2.0.5" Looking at the CHANGES file in the package, "dist.neighbours" was added in version 2.0.5, so I suspect the OP was using an older version, but reading a newer version of the help as a PDF.
2. don't call the output of function som() 'som'. As people around here might say: would you call your iguana 'iguana'?
Indeed:
##install.packages("fortunes") ## uncomment if not installed
require("fortunes")
fortune("dog")
HTH
G
3. have you used str() on your object to check what it really contains? I would guess that it should be of class som and have a component 'distances'. If none of that helps then it's beyond me. -Peter Ehlers Brock Tibert wrote:
Hi All,
I am still learning R, but making, IMO, great strides. I learned about Kohonen/Self-Organizing Maps in class and I would like to try to replicate some of the things we have seen in class.
Below is my code. I am trying to create a u-matrix. In the documentation on page 9 it appears the type of plot, dist.neighbours should do the trick, however, I am getting an error:
(Error in match.arg(type) : 'arg' should be one of "codes", "changes", "counts", "mapping", "property", "quality")
Since I am new to R, I figure I am missing something obvious. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Brock
library(kohonen)
data("wines")
wines.sc <- scale(wines)
som <- som(wines.sc, grid=somgrid(5, 5, "hexagonal"))
plot(som)
plot(som, type="dist.neighbours" )
