sklearn.cluster.cluster_optics_xi

sklearn.cluster.cluster_optics_xi(reachability, predecessor, ordering, min_samples, min_cluster_size=None, xi=0.05, predecessor_correction=True)[source]

Automatically extract clusters according to the Xi-steep method.

Parameters
reachabilityarray, shape (n_samples,)

Reachability distances calculated by OPTICS (reachability_)

predecessorarray, shape (n_samples,)

Predecessors calculated by OPTICS.

orderingarray, shape (n_samples,)

OPTICS ordered point indices (ordering_)

min_samplesint > 1 or float between 0 and 1

The same as the min_samples given to OPTICS. Up and down steep regions can’t have more then min_samples consecutive non-steep points. Expressed as an absolute number or a fraction of the number of samples (rounded to be at least 2).

min_cluster_sizeint > 1 or float between 0 and 1 (default=None)

Minimum number of samples in an OPTICS cluster, expressed as an absolute number or a fraction of the number of samples (rounded to be at least 2). If None, the value of min_samples is used instead.

xifloat, between 0 and 1, optional (default=0.05)

Determines the minimum steepness on the reachability plot that constitutes a cluster boundary. For example, an upwards point in the reachability plot is defined by the ratio from one point to its successor being at most 1-xi.

predecessor_correctionbool, optional (default=True)

Correct clusters based on the calculated predecessors.

Returns
labelsarray, shape (n_samples)

The labels assigned to samples. Points which are not included in any cluster are labeled as -1.

clustersarray, shape (n_clusters, 2)

The list of clusters in the form of [start, end] in each row, with all indices inclusive. The clusters are ordered according to (end, -start) (ascending) so that larger clusters encompassing smaller clusters come after such nested smaller clusters. Since labels does not reflect the hierarchy, usually len(clusters) > np.unique(labels).
