In the Algorithms menu, SOM is chosen, and the number of clusters for display is selected by changing the numbers in SOM rows and SOM columns see Note 41). The advanced parameters are left at default value. The icon Run is clicked, which activates the processing of the data and the display in clusters. Standard deviations are displayed as red lines outside the centroids and displayed as blue lines connecting the dots, which each represent a sample see Fig. 16.2A). 

The concomitant advances in theoretical methodologies and algorithms have also played a vital role in increasing computational capabilities for theoretical thermochemistry. These advances include (1) new methods for accurate treatment of electron correlation in molecules and atoms such as coupled cluster and quadratic configuration interaction methods, (2) new basis sets such as the correlation consistent basis sets, and (3) development of model chemistry ... 

The principle of unsupervised learning consists in the partition of a data set into small groups to reflect, in advance, unknown groupings [YARMUZA, 1980] (see also Section 5.3). The results of the application of methods of hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis (see also [HENRION et al., 1987]) were representative of the large palette of mathematical algorithms in cluster analysis.
