lvq2 {class} | R Documentation

## Learning Vector Quantization 2.1

### Description

Moves examples in a codebook to better represent the training set.

### Usage

    lvq2(x, cl, codebk, niter = 100 * nrow(codebk$x), alpha = 0.03,
         win = 0.3)

### Arguments

`x` | a matrix or data frame of examples
`cl` | a vector or factor of classifications for the examples
`codebk` | a codebook
`niter` | number of iterations
`alpha` | constant for training
`win` | a tolerance for the closeness of the two nearest vectors.

### Details

Selects `niter` examples at random with replacement, and adjusts the nearest two examples in the codebook if one is correct and the other incorrect.

### Value

A codebook, represented as a list with components `x` and `cl` giving the examples and classes.
