/**
 * This class implements competitive training, which would be used in a
 * winner-take-all neural network, such as the self organizing map (SOM). This
 * is an unsupervised training method, no ideal data is needed on the training
 * set. If ideal data is provided, it will be ignored.
 * 
 * Training is done by looping over all of the training elements and calculating
 * a "best matching unit" (BMU). This BMU output neuron is then adjusted to
 * better "learn" this pattern. Additionally, this training may be applied to
 * other "nearby" output neurons. The degree to which nearby neurons are update
 * is defined by the neighborhood function.
 * 
 * A neighborhood function is required to determine the degree to which
 * neighboring neurons (to the winning neuron) are updated by each training
 * iteration.
 * 
 * Because this is unsupervised training, calculating an error to measure
 * progress by is difficult. The error is defined to be the "worst", or longest,
 * Euclidean distance of any of the BMU's. This value should be minimized, as
 * learning progresses.
 * 
 * Because only the BMU neuron and its close neighbors are updated, you can end
 * up with some output neurons that learn nothing. By default these neurons are
 * not forced to win patterns that are not represented well. This spreads out
 * the workload among all output neurons. This feature is not used by default,
 * but can be enabled by setting the "forceWinner" property.
