Detailed Description

Observer of EM algorithm for collecting algorithm state on each step.

It can be used to obtain whole picture about clustering process of EM algorithm. Allocated clusters, means and covariances are stored in observer on each step. Here an example of usage:

from pyclustering.cluster.ema import ema, ema_observer;
from pyclustering.utils import read_sample;
from pyclustering.samples.definitions import SIMPLE_SAMPLES;

# Read data from text file
sample = read_sample(SIMPLE_SAMPLES.SAMPLE_SIMPLE3);

# Create EM observer
observer = ema_observer();

# Create EM algorithm to allocated four clusters and pass observer to it
ema_instance = ema(sample, 4, observer=observer);

# Run clustering process
ema_instance.process();

# Print amount of steps that were done by the algorithm
print("EMA steps:", observer.get_iterations());

# Print evolution of means and covariances
print("Means evolution:", observer.get_evolution_means());
print("Covariances evolution:", observer.get_evolution_covariances());

# Print evolution of clusters
print("Clusters evolution:", observer.get_evolution_clusters());

# Print final clusters
print("Allocated clusters:", observer.get_evolution_clusters()[-1]);

notify()

def pyclustering.cluster.ema.ema_observer.notify	(		self,
			means,
			covariances,
			clusters
	)

This method is used by the algorithm to notify observer about changes where the algorithm should provide new values: means, covariances and allocated clusters.

Parameters

[in]	means	(list): Mean of each cluster on currect step.
[in]	covariances	(list): Covariances of each cluster on current step.
[in]	clusters	(list): Allocated cluster on current step.
