Analysis of Data Clusters Obtained by Self-Organizing Methods
The self-organizing methods were used for the investigation of financial
market. As an example we consider data time-series of Dow Jones index for the
years 2002-2003 (R. Mantegna, cond-mat/9802256). In order to reveal new
structures in stock market behavior of the companies drawing up Dow Jones index
we apply SOM (Self-Organizing Maps) and GMDH (Group Method of Data Handling)
algorithms. Using SOM techniques we obtain SOM-maps that establish a new
relationship in market structure. Analysis of the obtained clusters was made by
GMDH.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
Data structures
We discuss data structures and their methods of analysis. In particular, we treat the unweighted and weighted dictionary problem, self-organizing data structures, persistent data structures, the union-find-split problem, priority queues, the nearest common ancestor problem, the selection and merging problem, and dynamization techniques. The methods of analysis are worst, average and amortized case
Growing Self-Organizing Maps for Data Analysis
Currently, there exist many research areas that produce large multivariable datasets that are difficult to visualize in order to extract useful information. Kohonen self organizing maps have been used successfully in the visualization and analysis of multidimensional data. In this work, a projection technique that compresses multidimensional datasets into two dimensional space using growing self-organizing maps is described. With this embedding scheme, traditional Kohonen visualization methods have been implemented using growing cell structures networks. New graphical map display have been compared with Kohonen graphs using two groups of simulated data and one group of real multidimensional data selected from a satellite scene
Self-Organizing Legal Systems: Precedent and Variation in Bankruptcy
Models of legal ordering are frequently hierarchical. These models do not explain two prominent realities: (1) variation in the content of a legal system, and (2) patterns of non-hierarchical ordering that we observe. As a supplement to hierarchical explanations of legal order, this Article, drawing from physical and social science research on complex systems, offers a self-organizing model. The self-organizing model focuses on variation in the content of legal systems and attempts to explain the relationship between that variation and patterns of ordering. The self-organizing model demonstrates that variation and ordering are not opposite categories, but rather constitute one continuous phenomenon.
Working with bankruptcy data and institutions, this Article describes self-organizing structures as overlapping networks of legal and extra-legal actors, and self-organizing dynamics as involving the twin processes of form innovation and norm emergence. This Article adduces empirical evidence (including a substantial case study and statistical analysis of a quantitative database) showing that bankruptcy is a self-organizing system. Finally, this Article suggests that self-organization may state a general theory of trial court behavior, and that the self-organizing model may illuminate legal research in areas such as discretion, doctrine, and legal change
Topological Chaos in a Three-Dimensional Spherical Fluid Vortex
In chaotic deterministic systems, seemingly stochastic behavior is generated
by relatively simple, though hidden, organizing rules and structures. Prominent
among the tools used to characterize this complexity in 1D and 2D systems are
techniques which exploit the topology of dynamically invariant structures.
However, the path to extending many such topological techniques to three
dimensions is filled with roadblocks that prevent their application to a wider
variety of physical systems. Here, we overcome these roadblocks and
successfully analyze a realistic model of 3D fluid advection, by extending the
homotopic lobe dynamics (HLD) technique, previously developed for 2D
area-preserving dynamics, to 3D volume-preserving dynamics. We start with
numerically-generated finite-time chaotic-scattering data for particles
entrained in a spherical fluid vortex, and use this data to build a symbolic
representation of the dynamics. We then use this symbolic representation to
explain and predict the self-similar fractal structure of the scattering data,
to compute bounds on the topological entropy, a fundamental measure of mixing,
and to discover two different mixing mechanisms, which stretch 2D material
surfaces and 1D material curves in distinct ways.Comment: 14 pages, 11 figure
How do we think : Modeling Interactions of Perception and Memory
A model of artificial perception based on self-organizing data into hierarchical structures is generalized to abstract thinking. This approach is illustrated using a two-level perception model, which is justified theoretically and tested empirically. The model can be extended to an arbitrary number of levels, with abstract concepts being understood as patterns of stable relationships between data aggregates of high representation levels
Median topographic maps for biomedical data sets
Median clustering extends popular neural data analysis methods such as the
self-organizing map or neural gas to general data structures given by a
dissimilarity matrix only. This offers flexible and robust global data
inspection methods which are particularly suited for a variety of data as
occurs in biomedical domains. In this chapter, we give an overview about median
clustering and its properties and extensions, with a particular focus on
efficient implementations adapted to large scale data analysis
Business Ecosystem & Data Ecosystem: Introduction to International Workshop on Big Data for Business Ecosystems
The possibilities of integrating business ecosystems and data ecosystems are considered. Their interaction is considered in the aspect of information exchange in open complex sociotechnical self-organizing systems. Modeling the interaction in such network structures makes it possible to determine the mechanisms of self-regulation that allow to ensure the sustainability of the ecosystem. Two models of network interaction are given, based on the analogy with information exchange in the models of production systems, presented as holon systems integrated with agents
