Self-Organising Maps: Applications in GI Science brings
together the latest geographical research where extensive use has
been made of the SOM algorithm, and provides readers with a
snapshot of these tools that can then be adapted and used in new
research projects. The book begins with an overview of the SOM
technique and the most commonly used (and freely available)
software; it is then sectioned to look at the different uses of the
technique, namely clustering, data mining and cartography, from a
range of application-areas in the biophysical and socio-economic
environments.
* Only book that takes SOM algorithm to the GIS and Geography
research communities
* The Editors draw together expert contributors from the UK,
Europe, USA, New Zealand, and South Africa
* Covers a range of techniques in clustering, data mining
cartography, all featuring an appropriate case study
