The SOM partitions the input space into
convex Voronoi regions, each of which corresponds to one unit of the map.
The Voronoi region of a map unit i is the union of all vectors
to which it is the closest one:
In the Voronoi region the reference vector can be shown to be placed
according to the local conditional expectation of the data weighted
by the neighborhood kernel:
