Abstract

This paper describes how Self-Organizing Maps can be used to analyse multi-choice gallups. In this method, the use of a single SOM for all available data is replaced with the use of multiple SOMs trained with subsets of gallup questions. The subgroupings located from these maps are then used to train a new concluding SOM that is more readable than any single SOM analysis would be.
