Kohonen networks and internals

[Robert.Land@t-online.de (robert_wilhelm_land)]

Being yet a passive subscriber to this list I would like to ask some
questions related to Kohonens "SOFM's". Actually, related to pdp, I
only had read the "PDP++ Software Users Manual" and never touched the
pdp++ libraries. 

It would be rather helpful to understand the SOFM's in a deeper way
before starting to work with them.

Having an awful trouble in reading and understanding Kohonens book I
would like to ask the list maintainers to permit me in asking and
taking some chapters out of "Self-Organizing Maps" , 2nd edition into
discussion - at least for this period of low traffic. It might help to
maintain pdp++ by more users.
