Paths of Wellbeing on Self-Organizing Maps

  • Conference paper
Advances in Self-Organizing Maps

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 198))

Abstract

In this article, we introduce the concept of pathways of wellbeing and examine how such paths can be discovered from large data sets using the self-organizing map. Data sets used in the illustrative experiments include measurements of physical fitness and subjective assessments related to diagnosing work stress.
