KMeans

Parameters

	n_clusters n_clusters: int, default=8 The number of clusters to form as well as the number of centroids to generate. For an example of how to choose an optimal value for `n_clusters` refer to :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_cluster_plot_kmeans_silhouette_analysis.py`.	3
	init init: {'k-means++', 'random'}, callable or array-like of shape (n_clusters, n_features), default='k-means++' Method for initialization: * 'k-means++' : selects initial cluster centroids using sampling based on an empirical probability distribution of the points' contribution to the overall inertia. This technique speeds up convergence. The algorithm implemented is "greedy k-means++". It differs from the vanilla k-means++ by making several trials at each sampling step and choosing the best centroid among them. * 'random': choose `n_clusters` observations (rows) at random from data for the initial centroids. * If an array is passed, it should be of shape (n_clusters, n_features) and gives the initial centers. * If a callable is passed, it should take arguments X, n_clusters and a random state and return an initialization. For an example of how to use the different `init` strategies, see :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_cluster_plot_kmeans_digits.py`. For an evaluation of the impact of initialization, see the example :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_cluster_plot_kmeans_stability_low_dim_dense.py`.	'k-means++'
	n_init n_init: 'auto' or int, default='auto' Number of times the k-means algorithm is run with different centroid seeds. The final results is the best output of `n_init` consecutive runs in terms of inertia. Several runs are recommended for sparse high-dimensional problems (see :ref:`kmeans_sparse_high_dim`). When `n_init='auto'`, the number of runs depends on the value of init: 10 if using `init='random'` or `init` is a callable; 1 if using `init='k-means++'` or `init` is an array-like. .. versionadded:: 1.2 Added 'auto' option for `n_init`. .. versionchanged:: 1.4 Default value for `n_init` changed to `'auto'`.	10
	max_iter max_iter: int, default=300 Maximum number of iterations of the k-means algorithm for a single run.	300
	tol tol: float, default=1e-4 Relative tolerance with regards to Frobenius norm of the difference in the cluster centers of two consecutive iterations to declare convergence.	0.0001
	verbose verbose: int, default=0 Verbosity mode.	0
	random_state random_state: int, RandomState instance or None, default=None Determines random number generation for centroid initialization. Use an int to make the randomness deterministic. See :term:`Glossary `.	0
	copy_x copy_x: bool, default=True When pre-computing distances it is more numerically accurate to center the data first. If copy_x is True (default), then the original data is not modified. If False, the original data is modified, and put back before the function returns, but small numerical differences may be introduced by subtracting and then adding the data mean. Note that if the original data is not C-contiguous, a copy will be made even if copy_x is False. If the original data is sparse, but not in CSR format, a copy will be made even if copy_x is False.	True
	algorithm algorithm: {"lloyd", "elkan"}, default="lloyd" K-means algorithm to use. The classical EM-style algorithm is `"lloyd"`. The `"elkan"` variation can be more efficient on some datasets with well-defined clusters, by using the triangle inequality. However it's more memory intensive due to the allocation of an extra array of shape `(n_samples, n_clusters)`. .. versionchanged:: 0.18 Added Elkan algorithm .. versionchanged:: 1.1 Renamed "full" to "lloyd", and deprecated "auto" and "full". Changed "auto" to use "lloyd" instead of "elkan".	'lloyd'
