Creating Heatmaps within SOM Clusters Using External Values with aweSOM Package in R
Using SOM-Clustering with External Values: A Solution for Heatmaps ===================================================== In recent years, Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) have become a popular tool for dimensionality reduction and visualization of high-dimensional data. One common use case is to visualize clusters in a dataset, where the SOM algorithm is used to reduce the dimensionality of the data to 2D or 3D space. However, when it comes to visualizing the results of an SOM clustering, the limitations of traditional heatmap functions become apparent.

Correctly Removing Zero-Quantity Items from XML Query Results
The problem is that you’re using = instead of < in the XPath expression. The correct XPath expression should be: $NEWXML/*:ReceiptDesc/*:Receipt[./*:ReceiptDtl/*:unit_qty/text() = $NAME] should be changed to: $NEWXML/*:ReceiptDesc/*:Receipt[./*:ReceiptDtl/*:unit_qty/text() = '0.0000'] Here’s the corrected code: with XML_TABLE as ( select xmltype( q'[&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;ReceiptDesc xmlns="http //www.w3.org/2000/svg"&gt; &lt;appt_nbr&gt;0&lt;/appt_nbr&gt; &lt;Receipt&gt; &lt;dc_dest_id&gt;ST&lt;/dc_dest_id&gt; &lt;po_nbr&gt;1232&lt;/po_nbr&gt; &lt;document_type&gt;T&lt;/document_type&gt; &lt;asn_nbr&gt;0033&lt;/asn_nbr&gt; &lt;ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;item_id&gt;100233127&lt;/item_id&gt; &lt;unit_qty&gt;0.0000&lt;/unit_qty&gt; &lt;user_id&gt;EXTERNAL&lt;/user_id&gt; &lt;shipped_qty&gt;6.0000&lt;/shipped_qty&gt; &lt;/ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;from_loc&gt;WH&lt;/from_loc&gt; &lt;from_loc_type&gt;W&lt;/from_loc_type&gt; &lt;/Receipt&gt; &lt;Receipt&gt; &lt;dc_dest_id&gt;ST&lt;/dc_dest_id&gt; &lt;po_nbr&gt;1233&lt;/po_nbr&gt; &lt;document_type&gt;T&lt;/document_type&gt; &lt;asn_nbr&gt;0033&lt;/asn_nbr&gt; &lt;ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;item_id&gt;355532244&lt;/item_id&gt; &lt;unit_qty&gt;2.0000&lt;/unit_qty&gt; &lt;user_id&gt;EXTERNAL&lt;/user_id&gt; &lt;shipped_qty&gt;2.
