Detailed Description

Class represents MBSAS (Modified Basic Sequential Algorithmic Scheme).

Interface of MBSAS algorithm is the same as for BSAS. This algorithm performs clustering in two steps. The first - is determination of amount of clusters. The second - is assignment of points that were not marked as a cluster representatives to clusters.

Code example of MBSAS usage:

from pyclustering.cluster.bsas import bsas_visualizer
from pyclustering.cluster.mbsas import mbsas
from pyclustering.utils import read_sample
from pyclustering.samples.definitions import SIMPLE_SAMPLES
 
# Read data sample from 'Simple02.data'.
sample = read_sample(SIMPLE_SAMPLES.SAMPLE_SIMPLE2)
 
# Prepare algorithm's parameters.
max_clusters = 3
threshold = 1.0
 
# Create instance of MBSAS algorithm.
mbsas_instance = mbsas(sample, max_clusters, threshold)
mbsas_instance.process()
 
# Get clustering results.
clusters = mbsas_instance.get_clusters()
representatives = mbsas_instance.get_representatives()
 
# Display results.
bsas_visualizer.show_clusters(sample, clusters, representatives)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

def pyclustering.cluster.mbsas.mbsas.__init__	(		self,
			data,
			maximum_clusters,
			threshold,
			ccore = True,
		**	kwargs
	)

Creates MBSAS algorithm.

Parameters

[in]	data	(list): Input data that is presented as list of points (objects), each point should be represented by list or tuple.
[in]	maximum_clusters	Maximum allowable number of clusters that can be allocated during processing.
[in]	threshold	Threshold of dissimilarity (maximum distance) between points.
[in]	ccore	(bool): If True than DLL CCORE (C++ solution) will be used for solving.
[in]	**kwargs	Arbitrary keyword arguments (available arguments: 'metric').

Keyword Args:

• metric (distance_metric): Metric that is used for distance calculation between two points.
