8.1.8. sklearn.cluster.estimate_bandwidth

sklearn.cluster.estimate_bandwidth(X, quantile=0.3, n_samples=None, random_state=0)

Estimate the bandwith to use with MeanShift algorithm

Parameters :

X: array [n_samples, n_features] :

Input points

quantile: float, default 0.3 :

should be between [0, 1] 0.5 means that the median is all pairwise distances is used

n_samples: int :

The number of samples to use. If None, all samples are used.

random_state: int or RandomState :

Pseudo number generator state used for random sampling.

Returns :

bandwidth: float :

The bandwidth parameter
