聚类算法评价指标python实现_聚类算法及其评估指标

聚类(Clustering)-----物以类聚，人以群分。

1.Finding groups of objects

Objects similar to each other are in the same group

Objects are different from those in other groups

2.Unsupervised Learning

No labels

Data driven

3.Requirements:arbitrary shape,noise and outliers

4.K-means、K-mediods、DBSCAN、EM(Expectation Maximization)

聚类是观察式学习，而不是示例式的学习。

聚类能够作为一个独立的工具获得数据的分布状况，观察每一簇数据的特征，集中对特定的聚簇集合作进一步地分析。

聚类分析还可以作为其他数据挖掘任务(如分类、关联规则)的预处理步骤。

聚类分析的方法

划分方法：

Construct various partitions and then evaluate them by some criterion,e.g.,minimizing the sum of square errors

Typical methods:k-means,k-medoids,CLARANS

层次方法：

Create a hierarchical decomposition of the set of data (or objects) using some criterion

Typical methods:Diana,Agnes,BIRCH,CAMELEON

基于密度的方法：

Based on connectivity and density functions

Typical methods:DBSCAN,OPTICS,DenClue

基于网格的方法：

Based on multiple-level granularity structure

Typical methods:STING,WaveCluster,CLIQUE

基于模型的方法：

A model is hypothesized for each of the clusters and tries to find the best fit of that model to each other

Typical methods:EM,SOM,COBWEB

基于频繁模式的方法：

Based on the analysis of frequent patterns

Typical methods:p-Cluster

基于约束的方法：

Clustering by considering user-specified or application-specific constraints

Typical methods:COD(obstacles),constrained clustering

基于链接的方法：

Objects are often linked together in various ways

Massive links can be used to cluster objects:SimRank,LinkClus

距离需要满足的性质：

非负性：d(i, j) > 0 if i ≠ j, and
