Comments on Multiple Self Organising Maps (mSOMs) for simultaneous classification and prediction: Illustrated by spoilage in apples using volatile organic profiles by S.F. Sim and V. Sági-Kiss

Abstract This paper comments on the article “Multiple Self Organising Maps (mSOMs) for simultaneous classification and prediction: Illustrated by spoilage in apples using volatile organic profiles by S.F. Sim and V. Sagi-Kiss, Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems 57–64 (2011).” It describes the origin of most of the methods and software, from the Bristol group, which is unattributed in the original paper. The article comments about conventions for citing software, and authorship of articles, and puts the work into context.
