机器学习算法与Python实践之(六)二分k均值聚类
机器学习算法与Python实践这个系列主要是参考《机器学习实战》这本书。因为自己想学习Python,然后也想对一些机器学习算法加深下了解,所以就想通过Python来实现几个比较常用的机器学习算法。恰好遇见这本同样定位的书籍,所以就参考这本书的过程来学习了。
在上一个博文中,我们聊到了k-means算法。但k-means算法有个比较大的缺点就是对初始k个质心点的选取比较敏感。有人提出了一个二分k均值(bisecting k-means)算法,它的出现就是为了一定情况下解决这个问题的。也就是说它对初始的k个质心的选择不太敏感。那下面我们就来了解和实现下这个算法。
一、二分k均值(bisecting k-means)算法
二分k均值(bisecting k-means)算法的主要思想是:首先将所有点作为一个簇,然后将该簇一分为二。之后选择能最大程度降低聚类代价函数(也就是误差平方和)的簇划分为两个簇。以此进行下去,直到簇的数目等于用户给定的数目k为止。
以上隐含着一个原则是:因为聚类的误差平方和能够衡量聚类性能,该值越小表示数据点月接近于它们的质心,聚类效果就越好。所以我们就需要对误差平方和最大的簇进行再一次的划分,因为误差平方和越大,表示该簇聚类越不好,越有可能是多个簇被当成一个簇了,所以我们首先需要对这个簇进行划分。
二分k均值算法的伪代码如下:
***************************************************************
将所有数据点看成一个簇
当簇数目小于k时
对每一个簇
计算总误差
在给定的簇上面进行k-均值聚类(k=2)
计算将该簇一分为二后的总误差
选择使得误差最小的那个簇进行划分操作
***************************************************************
二、Python实现
我使用的Python是2.7.5版本的。附加的库有Numpy和Matplotlib。具体的安装和配置见前面的博文。在代码中已经有了比较详细的注释了。不知道有没有错误的地方,如果有,还望大家指正(每次的运行结果都有可能不同)。里面我写了个可视化结果的函数,但只能在二维的数据上面使用。直接贴代码:

三、测试结果
测试数据是二维的,共80个样本。有4个类。具体见上一个博文。

这里贴出两次的运行结果:
不同的类用不同的颜色来表示,其中的大菱形是对应类的均值质心点。
事实上,这个算法在初始质心选择不同时运行效果也会不同。我没有看初始的论文,不确定它究竟是不是一定会收敛到全局最小值。《机器学习实战》这本书说是可以的,但因为每次运行的结果不同,所以我有点怀疑,自己去找资料也没找到相关的说明。对这个算法有了解的还望您不吝指点下,谢谢。
