The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is a popular and well-studied unsupervised learning technique. Much work has been done recently on visualizing the results of the SOM algorithm, using static non-interactive approaches. This paper presents two new SOM visualization methods, based on the grand tour and linked brushing. These new methods use animation to show progress of the algorithm in the input sp...

This paper introduces an R package for spatial and spatio-temporal prediction and forecasting for log-Gaussian Cox processes. The main computational tool for these models is Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and the new package, lgcp, therefore also provides an extensible suite of functions for implementing MCMC algorithms for processes of this type. The modelling framework and details of inferen...
