scipy.cluster.hierarchy.maxinconsts(Z, R)[source]#

Return the maximum inconsistency coefficient for each non-singleton cluster and its children.

Parameters:

Zndarray

The hierarchical clustering encoded as a matrix. Seelinkage for more information.

Rndarray

The inconsistency matrix.

Returns:

MIndarray

A monotonic (n-1)-sized numpy array of doubles.

See also

linkage

for a description of what a linkage matrix is.

inconsistent

for the creation of a inconsistency matrix.

Examples

from scipy.cluster.hierarchy import median, inconsistent, maxinconsts from scipy.spatial.distance import pdist

Given a data set X, we can apply a clustering method to obtain a linkage matrix Z. scipy.cluster.hierarchy.inconsistent can be also used to obtain the inconsistency matrix R associated to this clustering process:

X = [[0, 0], [0, 1], [1, 0], ... [0, 4], [0, 3], [1, 4], ... [4, 0], [3, 0], [4, 1], ... [4, 4], [3, 4], [4, 3]]

Z = median(pdist(X)) R = inconsistent(Z) Z array([[ 0. , 1. , 1. , 2. ], [ 3. , 4. , 1. , 2. ], [ 9. , 10. , 1. , 2. ], [ 6. , 7. , 1. , 2. ], [ 2. , 12. , 1.11803399, 3. ], [ 5. , 13. , 1.11803399, 3. ], [ 8. , 15. , 1.11803399, 3. ], [11. , 14. , 1.11803399, 3. ], [18. , 19. , 3. , 6. ], [16. , 17. , 3.5 , 6. ], [20. , 21. , 3.25 , 12. ]]) R array([[1. , 0. , 1. , 0. ], [1. , 0. , 1. , 0. ], [1. , 0. , 1. , 0. ], [1. , 0. , 1. , 0. ], [1.05901699, 0.08346263, 2. , 0.70710678], [1.05901699, 0.08346263, 2. , 0.70710678], [1.05901699, 0.08346263, 2. , 0.70710678], [1.05901699, 0.08346263, 2. , 0.70710678], [1.74535599, 1.08655358, 3. , 1.15470054], [1.91202266, 1.37522872, 3. , 1.15470054], [3.25 , 0.25 , 3. , 0. ]])

Here, scipy.cluster.hierarchy.maxinconsts can be used to compute the maximum value of the inconsistency statistic (the last column ofR) for each non-singleton cluster and its children:

maxinconsts(Z, R) array([0. , 0. , 0. , 0. , 0.70710678, 0.70710678, 0.70710678, 0.70710678, 1.15470054, 1.15470054, 1.15470054])
