[IMP-dev] self-organizing maps

Hi list,

In the light of my recent discovery of the statistics module in imp, I was wondering if some of you would be interested in an implementation of self-organizing maps (SOM). They are a generalization of principal components analysis to nonlinear models. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-organizing_map There's a shortcut for us to have it in IMP. It's called GPLVM, and is a probabilistic SOM based on gaussian processes. Is that something that would interest anyone?
