Detailed Description

Class represents simple clustering algorithm based on self-organized feature map.

This algorithm uses amount of clusters that should be allocated as a size of SOM map. Captured objects by neurons are clusters. Algorithm is able to process data with Gaussian distribution that has spherical forms.

Example:

from pyclustering.cluster import cluster_visualizer
from pyclustering.cluster.somsc import somsc
from pyclustering.samples.definitions import FCPS_SAMPLES
from pyclustering.utils import read_sample
# Load list of points for cluster analysis
sample = read_sample(FCPS_SAMPLES.SAMPLE_TWO_DIAMONDS)
# Create instance of SOM-SC algorithm to allocated two clusters
somsc_instance = somsc(sample, 2)
# Run cluster analysis and obtain results
somsc_instance.process()
clusters = somsc_instance.get_clusters()
# Visualize clustering results.
visualizer = cluster_visualizer()
visualizer.append_clusters(clusters, sample)
visualizer.show()

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ init()

def pyclustering.cluster.somsc.somsc.__init__	(	self,
		data,
		amount_clusters,
		epouch = `100`,
		ccore = `True`
	)

Creates SOM-SC (Self Organized Map for Simple Clustering) algorithm for clustering analysis.

Parameters

[in]	data	(list): List of points that are used for processing.
[in]	amount_clusters	(uint): Amount of clusters that should be allocated.
[in]	epouch	(uint): Number of epochs for training of SOM.
[in]	ccore	(bool): If it is True then CCORE implementation will be used for clustering analysis.

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_cluster_encoding()

def pyclustering.cluster.somsc.somsc.get_cluster_encoding ( self )

Returns clustering result representation type that indicate how clusters are encoded.

Returns: (type_encoding) Clustering result representation.

◆ get_clusters()

def pyclustering.cluster.somsc.somsc.get_clusters ( self )

Returns list of allocated clusters, each cluster contains indexes of objects in list of data.

◆ process()

def pyclustering.cluster.somsc.somsc.process ( self )
