Kohonen’s Self Organizing Maps in Excel/VBA, applied for reducing dimensions of colors and of financial ratios from Google Finance
Kohonen’s Self
Organizing Maps (SOM) is a type of artificial neural network that is trained using
unsupervised learning. The number of dimensions is effectively reduced as a
two-dimensional, discrete representation of high-dimensional data is produced.
A neighborhood function is used as the topological properties of the input
space are preserved.
In this file, the output space is visualized in a 40x40 block of Excel
cells that are colored appropriately. If you would like to take a look at a
good description of the algorithm, go to AIJunkie’s website.
The second file, chooses three
financial indicators – ROE, Debt-to-Equity and Market Capitalization – and once
again depicts this three-dimensional data on a two-dimensional SOM. The ratios
are from telecom sector of Google Finance and are (0,1) normalized beforehand.
As the initial plot is “dominated” by the three biggest companies – for which a
substantial portion of the entire space is reserved (the market capitalization
ratio is extremely right skewed) – a logarithm transformation is later undertaken.
The colors of the graph are unappealing, because the ratio vectors are used as
RGB components of Excel cell colors :).

Jaan,
very nice post an a really great blog you are running here. I am glad I finally found it!
I did something similar using Microsoft Excel to implement the elatic net approach for TSPs (Durbin & Willshaw). Thought you might be interested. Here is the link:

Let me know what you think.
Kind regards

Hi,
for marked research I would try the Kohonen Map.
I designed a new car and I Like to compare the efficient cars on the marked.
My goal is to compare the following specefications of a car:
************************
1st Technical features that define
a. Has two seats
b. Has 1 seat
c. Has three seats
d. Has four seats
e. electric drive
f. Has three wheels
g. Has four wheels
h. If lighter than 200 kg
i. weighs 200 to 400 kg
j. Weighs about 400 kg
k. reach of small 50 km
l. Rechweite small 100 km
m. Small range 150 km
n. range exceeding 400 km
o. Has the front crumple zone
p. Has side crumple zone
q. Has rear crumple zones
r. Is made of metal
s. is built from plastic
2nd Market-specific characteristics
a. Is available in Germany

is it possible to create a SOM with this specificatons of cars?

Every weekend i used to go to see this site, because
i want enjoyment, since this this website conations in
fact good funny information too.
Look at my blog post vuelos a hong kong
An outstanding share! I've just forwarded this onto a colleague who was doing a little homework on this. And he in fact bought me lunch due to the fact that I discovered it for him... lol. So let me reword this.... Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending time to talk about this topic here on your site.
