[Databionic-ESOM-User] Can ESOM scale to large data sets

[Sesan A. <ses...@ya...>]

Hi
  I am using Databionics ESOM (along with other software) for my reseach. The data set that am working on can be really large (up to 10,000 rows of data in about 5 colums in an Excel spreadsheet.
   
  When i tried ESOM using a smaller data set (about 600) i was able to get some meaningful results. However with a data set of 2000 data elements i couldn't get any meaningful clusters (other none graphical software did). 
   
  I really like the ESOM software because its comprehensive and flexible, however, it just won't give any meaning results. I varied the epochs (up to 500), varied the map size etc, but still won't work or can't visualize the clusters if they really are there!!!
   
  How can i solve this problem or is it that the ESOM can't scale to large values.
   
  Thanks
