How can I initilize the SOM weights by my own vector?

Dear all

I am doing a SOM project in which I should initilize the SOM weights not in random way but by my own vector. I tried to do this by following code:

net1 = newsom(inputVector2,[10 10],'hextop');
net1=init(net1);
net1.iw{1,1}=initweights';
net1 = train(net1,inputVector2);

But seems still SOM is initilized by random values. How can I initilize the weights by my own vector?

SOM stands for?

Without knowing what SOM is I am assuming you need to seed it.

The initial weights for a self-organizing map (SOM) are small standardized random values.
