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?

I say Aye. BUT - if we put a lot of tools in same folder, we will have a total mess with hundreds of files in the same place. We cannot make subfolders due to the automated scripts, how about instead we'll start a convention of naming folders like "statistics_clustering", "statistics_som", "statistics_misc", etc. This is instead of having subfolders "statistics/clustering" "statistics/som", so the automated script would work as is. It would also improve build times due to smaller dependencies constraints.

Just something to be aware of, I'm not sure where the optimal tradeoff lies (or that there is an optimal value over all the various use cases).
Using scons in interactive mode gets the startup time one of these problems.

If you're talking about GP-LVM from http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~neill/gplvmcpp/ then we can't include that in IMP, unfortunately, because it is not open source software.

I already wrote an implementation of the gaussian process, and one would just need to adapt it to this case by writing the covariance function and its derivatives. I'm willing to do it, although I'd really appreciate some programming help to speedup things, but I wasn't going to do it without anyone interested. As far as where to put it, the core of the gaussian process is in the isd module, so no need to rename stuff for the moment.
