@brief Cluster analysis algorithm: SOM-SC (Self-Organized Feature Map for Simple Clustering)
@details There is no paper on which implementation is based. Algorithm SOM-SC is adaptation of SOM for cluster analysis in simple way.
          Basic idea: amount of cluster that should be allocated is defines amount of neurons in the self-organized map. SOM-SC can be
          considered as neural network implementation of K-Means algorithm.
          Implementation based on paper @cite article::nnet::som::1.

    @brief Class represents simple clustering algorithm based on self-organized feature map. 
    @details This algorithm uses amount of clusters that should be allocated as a size of SOM map. Captured objects by neurons are clusters.
             Algorithm is able to process data with Gaussian distribution that has spherical forms.
    
    Example:
    @code
        from pyclustering.cluster import cluster_visualizer
        from pyclustering.cluster.somsc import somsc
        from pyclustering.samples.definitions import FCPS_SAMPLES
        from pyclustering.utils import read_sample

        # Load list of points for cluster analysis
        sample = read_sample(FCPS_SAMPLES.SAMPLE_TWO_DIAMONDS)

        # Create instance of SOM-SC algorithm to allocated two clusters
        somsc_instance = somsc(sample, 2)

        # Run cluster analysis and obtain results
        somsc_instance.process()
        clusters = somsc_instance.get_clusters()

        # Visualize clustering results.
        visualizer = cluster_visualizer()
