[comp.ai.neural-nets] Might NN be the right tool for analysis of 2-dimensional matrices.

Dear netters,
I'm just about totally ignorant about neural nets.  But I have a problem
and maybe neural nets are the solution, maybe not.  Here is the problem:

I'm interested in a method - or statistic - which can 
measure the concentration vs. randomness of high values 
in a two dimensional matrix.
Example:

High concentration:
     9     9     9
     1     1     1
     1     1     1
returns the highest value

Medium concentration:
     9     1     1
     1     9     1
     1     1     9
returns a medium sized value

Low concentration (random)
     3     5     3
     7     2     2
     1     4     6
returns a low value

The matrices will be bigger than these, though not 
collosal.  Any suggestion or ideas about methods or 
computer progams would be most appreciated.

Thanks plenty.
