Welcome to the page dedicated to You - the SOM Analyzer license owners.
In here, I will present various topics and will post solutions to possible problems depending on what is currently under discussion. This link is not public so make sure you bookmark it as it cannot be found anywhere on the SOM Analyzer site.

New release 1.01 and User Guide Ready!
Well, the user guide is now ready and awaiting your comments. I also wrapped up a new release of SOM Analyzer into which documentation is more closely tied. There are two new items under the Help menu taking you directly to the documentation on the SOM Analyzer web page. The documentation links are called User Guide and About SOM.

User Guide
While still awaiting your feedback regarding the possible future features (see my previous entry below), I started to write the SOM Analyzer User Guide. As of yet, it still in the making but do check it out as it may provide you with more insights into how the SOM Analyzer can be used.

Features to Come
This is something that people keep asking me. I have kept saying that as my resources are limited there will not be any. BUT, now that the awareness of the SOM Analyzer seems to have spread somewhat wider I feel I must support you more. So, I toss you the ball and ask your input as to what might be a valuable feature or a set of features. In other words, what would you like to see in the coming SOM Analyzer releases? To get you started, I have listed below some features that I have received over this one and a half year period from you. These are really just quotations of what I have received. My interpretation is under each item written in italics.
1. Is there a way to represent vector (instance) ID's (row labels) somehow? I need a mechanism for identifying each uniqe row/vector.
SOM Analyzer could generate labels for input vectors and together with automatic labelling could have this information visible after data has been mapped.
2. Is there a way to print , or save somehow, the vector unique IDs (rows labels ) that are clustered within each cluster. With very large cluster populations, it is not practical or even necessary, to have to copy IDs for many instances/rows/vectors for each cluster ...
SOM Analyzer could support a code file into which input vector mapping to cluster is logged.
3. Does SOM Analyzer support automatic labelling?
As of yet, SOM Analyzer does not support that. Auto labelling could work so that it maps labels given as part of the input data row to map label.
So, go ahead and pick the one that you find most interesting and let me know. You can, of course, report features of your own that you think are important. After I have received your input, I will let you know what my agenda will be.
Many thanks!Petri
