SOM基因表达聚类分析初探
上周的暑期生信黑马培训有老师提出要做SOM分析，最后卡在code plot只能出segment plot却出不来line plot。查了下，没看到解决方案。今天看了下源码，设置了一个参数，得到趋势图。也顺便学习了SOM分析的整个过程，整理下来，以备以后用到。
SOM分析基本理论
SOM (Self-Organizing Feature Map,自组织特征图)是基于神经网络方式的数据矩阵和可视化方式。与其它类型的中心点聚类算法如K-means等相似，SOM也是找到一组中心点 (又称为codebook vector)，然后根据最相似原则把数据集的每个对象映射到对应的中心点。在神经网络术语中，每个神经元对应于一个中心点。
与K-means类似，数据集中的每个对象每次处理一个，判断最近的中心点，然后更新中心点。与K-means不同的是，SOM中中心点之间存在拓扑形状顺序，在更新一个中心点的同时，邻近的中心点也会随着更新，直到达到设定的阈值或中心点不再有显著变化。最终获得一系列的中心点 (codes)隐式地定义多个簇，与这个中心点最近的对象归为同一个簇。
SOM强调簇中心点之间的邻近关系，相邻的簇之间相关性更强，更有利于解释结果，常用于可视化网络数据或基因表达数据。
Even though SOM is similar to K-means, there is a fundamental difference. Centroids used in SOM have a predetermined topographic ordering relationship. During the training process, SOM uses each data point to update the closest centroid and centroids that are nearby in the topographic ordering. In this way, SOM produces an ordered set of centroids for any given data set. In other words, the centroids that are close to each other in the SOM grid are more closely related to each other than to the centroids that are farther away. Because of this constraint, the centroids of a two-dimensional SOM can be viewed as lying on a two-dimensional surface that tries to fit the n-dimensional data as well as possible. The SOM centroids can also be thought of as the result of a nonlinear regression with respect to the data points. At a high level, clustering using the SOM technique consists of the steps described in Algorithm below:
1: Initialize the centroids.
2: repeat
3: Select the next object.
4: Determine the closest centroid to the object.
5: Update this centroid and the centroids that are close, i.e., in a specified neighborhood.
6: until The centroids don't change much or a threshold is exceeded.
7: Assign each object to its closest centroid and return the centroids and clusters.SOM分析实战
