The Evaluation for the Cluster Classification of the Liver function data using the Spherical and the Plane SOM

Abstract

The cluster distinction in the liver function data was carried out using spherical SOM. The result was also reconfirmed in a plane SOM. There are 5 items of LDH, gamma-GTP, AST, ALT, and ASP, to the main blood examination of the hepatic function which are checked by the checkup. In the analysis by a spherical SOM, the trend of AST resembles very well to ALT. The both standard values were used respectively, for the normalization. Then, they are added and averaged. As a result, it becomes an examination of the hepatic function by these 4 items. Then, the method were applied to the various liver function data.
