Topology preservation in topographic maps

The construction of topographic models for fitting a model to the data set requires selection of appropriate values for its parameters. Since the parameters control the flexibility of the model, the generalization problem is directly related to parameter selection. This paper addresses this problem, using a novel criterion for monitoring topographic maps in which the key observation is that we can measure how close to equiprobabilistic a given map is.
