Abstract

In the present paper we describe a complete methodology to cluster and classify data using Probabilistic Self-Organizing Map (PRSOM). The PRSOM map gives an accurate estimation of the density probabity function of the data, an adapted hierarchical clustering allows to take into account an extra knowledge given by an expert. We present two actual applications of the method taken in the domain of geophysics.
