I like to stop the execution when Batch SOM becomes converged. What error function can I use to determine the convergence?

Kohonen SOM Maps: Normalizing the input with unknown range

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
According to "Introduction to Neural Networks with Java By Jeff Heaton", the input to the Kohonen neural network must be the values between -1 and 1. It is possible to normalize inputs where the range is known beforehand: For instance RGB (125, 125, 125) where the range is know as values 0 and 255: 1… >>> More
