Optimized Learning Vector Quantization 1

Description:

     Moves examples in a codebook to better represent the training set.

Usage:

     olvq1(x, cl, codebk, niter = 40 * nrow(codebk$x), alpha = 0.3)

Arguments:

       x: a matrix or data frame of examples 

      cl: a vector or factor of classifications for the examples 

  codebk: a codebook 

   niter: number of iterations 

   alpha: constant for training 

Details:

     Selects 'niter' examples at random with replacement, and adjusts
     the nearest example in the codebook for each.

Value:

     A codebook, represented as a list with components 'x' and 'cl'
     giving the examples and classes.
