Scikit Learn - Clustering Performance Evaluation


Previous Page Next Page  

There are various functions with the help of which we can evaluate the performance of clustering algorithms.

Following are some important and mostly used functions given by the Scikit-learn for evaluating clustering performance −

Adjusted Rand Index

Rand Index is a function that computes a similarity measure between two clustering. For this computation rand index considers all pairs of samples and counting pairs that are assigned in the similar or different clusters in the predicted and true clustering. Afterwards, the raw Rand Index score is ‘adjusted for chance’ into the Adjusted Rand Index score by using the following formula −

$$Adjusted:RI=left(RI-Expected_{-}RI ight)/left(maxleft(RI ight)-Expected_{-}RI ight)$$

It has two parameters namely labels_true, which is ground truth class labels, and labels_pred, which are clusters label to evaluate.

Example


from sklearn.metrics.cluster import adjusted_rand_score
   
   labels_true = [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]
   labels_pred = [0, 0, 2, 2, 3, 3]

adjusted_rand_score(labels_true, labels_pred)

Output


0.4444444444444445

Perfect labepng would be scored 1 and bad labelpng or independent labelpng is scored 0 or negative.

Mutual Information Based Score

Mutual Information is a function that computes the agreement of the two assignments. It ignores the permutations. There are following versions available −

Normapzed Mutual Information (NMI)

Scikit learn have sklearn.metrics.normapzed_mutual_info_score module.

Example


from sklearn.metrics.cluster import normapzed_mutual_info_score
   
   labels_true = [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]
   labels_pred = [0, 0, 2, 2, 3, 3]

normapzed_mutual_info_score (labels_true, labels_pred)

Output


0.7611702597222881

Adjusted Mutual Information (AMI)

Scikit learn have sklearn.metrics.adjusted_mutual_info_score module.

Example


from sklearn.metrics.cluster import adjusted_mutual_info_score

   labels_true = [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]
   labels_pred = [0, 0, 2, 2, 3, 3]

adjusted_mutual_info_score (labels_true, labels_pred)

Output


0.4444444444444448

Fowlkes-Mallows Score

The Fowlkes-Mallows function measures the similarity of two clustering of a set of points. It may be defined as the geometric mean of the pairwise precision and recall.

Mathematically,

$$FMS=frac{TP}{sqrt{left(TP+FP ight)left(TP+FN ight)}}$$

Here, TP = True Positive − number of pair of points belonging to the same clusters in true as well as predicted labels both.

FP = False Positive − number of pair of points belonging to the same clusters in true labels but not in the predicted labels.

FN = False Negative − number of pair of points belonging to the same clusters in the predicted labels but not in the true labels.

The Scikit learn has sklearn.metrics.fowlkes_mallows_score module −

Example


from sklearn.metrics.cluster import fowlkes_mallows_score

   labels_true = [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]
   labels_pred = [0, 0, 2, 2, 3, 3]

fowlkes_mallows__score (labels_true, labels_pred)

Output


0.6546536707079771

Silhouette Coefficient

The Silhouette function will compute the mean Silhouette Coefficient of all samples using the mean intra-cluster distance and the mean nearest-cluster distance for each sample.

Mathematically,

$$S=left(b-a ight)/maxleft(a,b ight)$$

Here, a is intra-cluster distance.

and, b is mean nearest-cluster distance.

The Scikit learn have sklearn.metrics.silhouette_score module −

Example


from sklearn import metrics.silhouette_score
from sklearn.metrics import pairwise_distances
from sklearn import datasets
import numpy as np
from sklearn.cluster import KMeans
dataset = datasets.load_iris()
X = dataset.data
y = dataset.target

kmeans_model = KMeans(n_clusters = 3, random_state = 1).fit(X)
labels = kmeans_model.labels_
silhouette_score(X, labels, metric =  eucpdean )

Output


0.5528190123564091

Contingency Matrix

This matrix will report the intersection cardinapty for every trusted pair of (true, predicted). Confusion matrix for classification problems is a square contingency matrix.

The Scikit learn have sklearn.metrics.contingency_matrix module.

Example


from sklearn.metrics.cluster import contingency_matrix
x = ["a", "a", "a", "b", "b", "b"]
y = [1, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]
contingency_matrix(x, y)

Output


array([
   [0, 2, 1],
   [1, 1, 1]
])

The first row of above output shows that among three samples whose true cluster is “a”, none of them is in 0, two of the are in 1 and 1 is in 2. On the other hand, second row shows that among three samples whose true cluster is “b”, 1 is in 0, 1 is in 1 and 1 is in 2.
