msmbuilder.cluster.Ward

class msmbuilder.cluster.Ward(*args, **kwargs)

Agglomerative Clustering

Recursively merges the pair of clusters that minimally increases a given linkage distance.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

n_clusters : int, default=2

The number of clusters to find.

connectivity : array-like or callable, optional

Connectivity matrix. Defines for each sample the neighboring samples following a given structure of the data. This can be a connectivity matrix itself or a callable that transforms the data into a connectivity matrix, such as derived from kneighbors_graph. Default is None, i.e, the hierarchical clustering algorithm is unstructured.

affinity : string or callable, default: “euclidean”

Metric used to compute the linkage. Can be “euclidean”, “l1”, “l2”, “manhattan”, “cosine”, or ‘precomputed’. If linkage is “ward”, only “euclidean” is accepted.

memory : Instance of joblib.Memory or string (optional)

Used to cache the output of the computation of the tree. By default, no caching is done. If a string is given, it is the path to the caching directory.

n_components : int (optional)

Number of connected components. If None the number of connected components is estimated from the connectivity matrix. NOTE: This parameter is now directly determined from the connectivity matrix and will be removed in 0.18

compute_full_tree : bool or ‘auto’ (optional)

Stop early the construction of the tree at n_clusters. This is useful to decrease computation time if the number of clusters is not small compared to the number of samples. This option is useful only when specifying a connectivity matrix. Note also that when varying the number of clusters and using caching, it may be advantageous to compute the full tree.

linkage : {“ward”, “complete”, “average”}, optional, default: “ward”

Which linkage criterion to use. The linkage criterion determines which distance to use between sets of observation. The algorithm will merge the pairs of cluster that minimize this criterion.

  • ward minimizes the variance of the clusters being merged.
  • average uses the average of the distances of each observation of the two sets.
  • complete or maximum linkage uses the maximum distances between all observations of the two sets.

pooling_func : callable, default=np.mean

This combines the values of agglomerated features into a single value, and should accept an array of shape [M, N] and the keyword argument axis=1, and reduce it to an array of size [M].

Attributes

labels_ (list of arrays, each of shape [sequence_length, ]) The label of each point is an integer in [0, n_clusters).
n_leaves_ (int) Number of leaves in the hierarchical tree.
n_components_ (int) The estimated number of connected components in the graph.
children_ (array-like, shape (n_nodes-1, 2)) The children of each non-leaf node. Values less than n_samples correspond to leaves of the tree which are the original samples. A node i greater than or equal to n_samples is a non-leaf node and has children children_[i - n_samples]. Alternatively at the i-th iteration, children[i][0] and children[i][1] are merged to form node n_samples + i

fit(sequences, y=None)

Fit the clustering on the data

Parameters:

sequences : list of array-like, each of shape [sequence_length, n_features]

A list of multivariate timeseries. Each sequence may have a different length, but they all must have the same number of features.

Returns:

self

fit_predict(sequences, y=None)

Performs clustering on X and returns cluster labels.

Parameters:

sequences : list of array-like, each of shape [sequence_length, n_features]

A list of multivariate timeseries. Each sequence may have a different length, but they all must have the same number of features.

Returns:

Y : list of ndarray, each of shape [sequence_length, ]

Cluster labels

fit_transform(sequences, y=None)

Alias for fit_predict

get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:

deep: boolean, optional

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:

params : mapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

partial_predict(X, y=None)

Predict the closest cluster each sample in X belongs to.

In the vector quantization literature, cluster_centers_ is called the code book and each value returned by predict is the index of the closest code in the code book.

Parameters:

X : array-like shape=(n_samples, n_features)

A single timeseries.

Returns:

Y : array, shape=(n_samples,)

Index of the cluster that each sample belongs to

partial_transform(X)

Alias for partial_predict

predict(sequences, y=None)

Predict the closest cluster each sample in each sequence in sequences belongs to.

In the vector quantization literature, cluster_centers_ is called the code book and each value returned by predict is the index of the closest code in the code book.

Parameters:

sequences : list of array-like, each of shape [sequence_length, n_features]

A list of multivariate timeseries. Each sequence may have a different length, but they all must have the same number of features.

Returns:

Y : list of arrays, each of shape [sequence_length,]

Index of the closest center each sample belongs to.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Returns:self
summarize()

Return some diagnostic summary statistics about this Markov model

transform(sequences)
