Bases: BaseClusterer

Time series CLARA implementation.

Clustering LARge Applications (CLARA) [1] is a clustering algorithm that samples the dataset, applies PAM to the sample, and then uses the medoids from the sample to seed PAM on the entire dataset.

For a comparison of using CLARA for time series compared to other k-medoids algorithms see [2].

Parameters:

n_clustersint, default=8

The number of clusters to form as well as the number of centroids to generate.

initstr or np.ndarray, default=’random’

Method for initialising cluster centers. Any of the following are valid: [‘kmedoids++’, ‘random’, ‘first’]. Random is the default as it is very fast and it was found in [2] to perform about as well as the other methods. Kmedoids++ is a variant of kmeans++ [4] and is slower but often more accurate than random. It works by choosing centroids that are distant from one another. First is the fastest method and simply chooses the first k time series as centroids. If a np.ndarray provided it must be of shape (n_clusters,) and contain the indexes of the time series to use as centroids.

distancestr or Callable, default=’msm’

Distance method to compute similarity between time series. A list of valid strings for metrics can be found in the documentation for aeon.distances.get_distance_function. If a callable is passed it must be a function that takes two 2d numpy arrays as input and returns a float.

n_samplesint, default=None,

Number of samples to sample from the dataset. If None, then min(n_cases, 40 + 2 * n_clusters) is used.

n_sampling_itersint, default=5,

Number of different subsets of samples to try. The best subset cluster centers are used.

n_initint, default=5

Number of times the PAM algorithm will be run with different centroid seeds. The final result will be the best output of n_init consecutive runs in terms of inertia.

max_iterint, default=300

Maximum number of iterations of the PAM algorithm for a single run.

tolfloat, default=1e-6

Relative tolerance with regards to Frobenius norm of the difference in the cluster centers of two consecutive iterations to declare convergence.

verbosebool, default=False

Verbosity mode.

random_stateint, np.random.RandomState instance or None, default=None

Determines random number generation for centroid initialization. If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If np.random.RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random.

distance_paramsdict, default=None

Dictionary containing kwargs for the distance method being used.

Attributes:

cluster_centers_np.ndarray, of shape (n_cases, n_channels, n_timepoints)

A collection of time series instances that represent the cluster centers.

labels_np.ndarray (1d array of shape (n_case,))

Labels that is the index each time series belongs to.

inertia_float

Sum of squared distances of samples to their closest cluster center, weighted by the sample weights if provided.

n_iter_int

Number of iterations run.

clone(random_state=None)

A clone is a different object without shared references, in post-init state. This function is equivalent to returning sklearn.clone of self. Equal in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False)).

Parameters:

random_stateint, RandomState instance, or None, default=None

Sets the random state of the clone. If None, the random state is not set. If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator. If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator.

reset(keep=None)

Reset the object to a clean post-init state.

After a self.reset() call, self is equal or similar in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False)), assuming no other attributes were kept using keep.

Detailed behaviour:

removes any object attributes, except:

hyper-parameters (arguments of __init__) object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”

runs __init__ with current values of hyperparameters (result of get_params)

Not affected by the reset are:

object attributes containing double-underscores class and object methods, class attributes any attributes specified in the keep argument

Parameters:

keepNone, str, or list of str, default=None

If None, all attributes are removed except hyperparameters. If str, only the attribute with this name is kept. If list of str, only the attributes with these names are kept.

Returns:

Raises:

TypeError

If ‘keep’ is not a string or a list of strings.

Returns:

selfestimator instance

Estimator instance.

set_tags(**tag_dict)
