As a self-organizing artificial neural network model based on supervised learning, the LVQ classifier has been widely applied and deeply studied due to its good practical performance on the pattern recognition problems. The improved LVQ classifier have been greatly developed in previous works, and the experimental results on specific problems show that the improved LVQ classifier is indeed better than the standard learning algorithms proposed by Kohonen. Different from previous works, the consistency is studied in this paper to provide a theoretical support for the LVQ classifier. Furthermore, a simulation is included in this paper to provide an experimental support for our theoretical work.
