Abstract:

The Self-Organizing Time Map (SOTM) is a recently introduced adaptation of the Self-Organizing Map for visualizing dynamics in cluster structures, or visual dynamic clustering. This paper extends the use of the SOTM to visualize changes in cluster structures over any variable of ordinal, cardinal or higher level of measurement. The rationale and functioning of the SOTM over any variable is illustrated with two real-world cases related to cluster structures in welfare, poverty and development indicators for a global set of countries.
