sklearn.manifold.trustworthiness

sklearn.manifold.trustworthiness(X, X_embedded, *, n_neighbors=5, metric='euclidean')

Expresses to what extent the local structure is retained.

The trustworthiness is within [0, 1]. It is defined as

\[T(k) = 1 - \frac{2}{nk (2n - 3k - 1)} \sum^n_{i=1} \sum_{j \in \mathcal{N}_{i}^{k}} \max(0, (r(i, j) - k))\]

where for each sample i, \(\mathcal{N}_{i}^{k}\) are its k nearest neighbors in the output space, and every sample j is its \(r(i, j)\)-th nearest neighbor in the input space. In other words, any unexpected nearest neighbors in the output space are penalised in proportion to their rank in the input space.

Parameters:

Xndarray of shape (n_samples, n_features) or (n_samples, n_samples)

If the metric is ‘precomputed’ X must be a square distance matrix. Otherwise it contains a sample per row.

X_embeddedndarray of shape (n_samples, n_components)

Embedding of the training data in low-dimensional space.

n_neighborsint, default=5

The number of neighbors that will be considered. Should be fewer than n_samples / 2 to ensure the trustworthiness to lies within [0, 1], as mentioned in [1]. An error will be raised otherwise.

metricstr or callable, default=’euclidean’

Which metric to use for computing pairwise distances between samples from the original input space. If metric is ‘precomputed’, X must be a matrix of pairwise distances or squared distances. Otherwise, for a list of available metrics, see the documentation of argument metric in sklearn.pairwise.pairwise_distances and metrics listed in sklearn.metrics.pairwise.PAIRWISE_DISTANCE_FUNCTIONS. Note that the “cosine” metric uses cosine_distances.

New in version 0.20.

Returns:

trustworthinessfloat

Trustworthiness of the low-dimensional embedding.
