GTM

Fit a Generative Topographic Mapping using the

      expectation-maximisation algorithm.

    [W,L] = GTM (A,K,M,MAPTYPE,REG,EPS,MAXITER)

Input
 A Dataset or double matrix
 K Vector containing number of nodes per dimension (default: [5 5], 2D map)
 M Vector containing number of basis functions per dimension (default: [10 10])
 MAPTYPE Map onto mean of posterior ('mean', default) or mode ('mode')
 REG Regularisation (default: 0)
 EPS Change in likelihood to stop training (default: 1e-5)
 MAXITER Maximum number of iterations (default: inf)

Output
 W GTM mapping
 L Likelihood

Description

Trains a Generative Topographic Mapping of any dimension, using the EM algorithm.
