sklearn.cluster.AffinityPropagation¶
- class sklearn.cluster.AffinityPropagation(damping=0.5, max_iter=200, convergence_iter=15, copy=True, preference=None, affinity='euclidean', verbose=False)¶
Perform Affinity Propagation Clustering of data
Parameters : damping : float, optional, default: 0.5
Damping factor between 0.5 and 1.
convergence_iter : int, optional, default: 15
Number of iterations with no change in the number of estimated clusters that stops the convergence.
max_iter : int, optional, default: 200
Maximum number of iterations
copy : boolean, optional, default: True
Make a copy of input data.
preference : array [n_samples,] or float, optional, default: None
Preferences for each point - points with larger values of preferences are more likely to be chosen as exemplars. The number of exemplars, ie of clusters, is influenced by the input preferences value. If the preferences are not passed as arguments, they will be set to the median of the input similarities.
affinity : string, optional, default=``euclidean``
Which affinity to use. At the moment precomputed and euclidean are supported. euclidean uses the negative squared euclidean distance between points.
verbose : boolean, optional, default: False
Whether to be verbose.
Notes
See examples/cluster/plot_affinity_propagation.py for an example.
The algorithmic complexity of affinity propagation is quadratic in the number of points.

Attributes
cluster_centers_indices_ array, [n_clusters] Indices of cluster centers cluster_centers_ array, [n_clusters, n_features] Cluster centers (if affinity != ``precomputed’‘). labels_ array, [n_samples] Labels of each point affinity_matrix_ array-like, [n_samples, n_samples] Stores the affinity matrix used in fit. Methods
fit(X) Create affinity matrix from negative euclidean distances, then apply affinity propagation clustering. fit_predict(X[, y]) Performs clustering on X and returns cluster labels. get_params([deep]) Get parameters for this estimator. predict(X) Predict the closest cluster each sample in X belongs to. set_params(**params) Set the parameters of this estimator. - __init__(damping=0.5, max_iter=200, convergence_iter=15, copy=True, preference=None, affinity='euclidean', verbose=False)¶
- fit(X)¶
Create affinity matrix from negative euclidean distances, then apply affinity propagation clustering.
Parameters : X: array [n_samples, n_features] or [n_samples, n_samples] :
Data matrix or, if affinity is precomputed, matrix of similarities / affinities.
- fit_predict(X, y=None)¶
Performs clustering on X and returns cluster labels.
Parameters : X : ndarray, shape (n_samples, n_features)
Input data.
Returns : y : ndarray, shape (n_samples,)
cluster labels
- get_params(deep=True)¶
Get parameters for this estimator.
Parameters : deep: boolean, optional :
If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
Returns : params : mapping of string to any
Parameter names mapped to their values.
- predict(X)¶
Predict the closest cluster each sample in X belongs to.
Parameters : X : {array-like, sparse matrix}, shape = [n_samples, n_features]
New data to predict.
Returns : labels : array, shape [n_samples,]
Index of the cluster each sample belongs to.
- set_params(**params)¶
Set the parameters of this estimator.
The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.
Returns : self :
