HDBSCAN

Now a part of scikit-learn-contrib

HDBSCAN - Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise. Performs DBSCAN over varying epsilon values and integrates the result to find a clustering that gives the best stability over epsilon. This allows HDBSCAN to find clusters of varying densities (unlike DBSCAN), and be more robust to parameter selection.

In practice this means that HDBSCAN returns a good clustering straight away with little or no parameter tuning -- and the primary parameter, minimum cluster size, is intuitive and easy to select.

HDBSCAN is ideal for exploratory data analysis; it's a fast and robust algorithm that you can trust to return meaningful clusters (if there are any).

Based on the paper:
R. Campello, D. Moulavi, and J. Sander, Density-Based Clustering Based on Hierarchical Density Estimates In: Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, Springer, pp 160-172. 2013

Documentation, including tutorials, are available on ReadTheDocs at http://hdbscan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ .

Notebooks comparing HDBSCAN to other clustering algorithms, explaining how HDBSCAN works and comparing performance with other python clustering implementations are available.

How to use HDBSCAN

The hdbscan package inherits from sklearn classes, and thus drops in neatly next to other sklearn clusterers with an identical calling API. Similarly it supports input in a variety of formats: an array (or pandas dataframe, or sparse matrix) of shape (num_samples x num_features); an array (or sparse matrix) giving a distance matrix between samples.

import hdbscan
from sklearn.datasets import make_blobs

data, _ = make_blobs(1000)

clusterer = hdbscan.HDBSCAN(min_cluster_size=10)
cluster_labels = clusterer.fit_predict(data)

Performance

Significant effort has been put into making the hdbscan implementation as fast as possible. It is orders of magnitude faster than the reference implementation in Java, and is currently faster than highly optimized single linkage implementations in C and C++. version 0.7 performance can be seen in this notebook . In particular performance on low dimensional data is better than sklearn's DBSCAN , and via support for caching with joblib, re-clustering with different parameters can be almost free.

Additional functionality

The hdbscan package comes equipped with visualization tools to help you understand your clustering results. After fitting data the clusterer object has attributes for:

  • The condensed cluster hierarchy
  • The robust single linkage cluster hierarchy
  • The reachability distance minimal spanning tree

All of which come equipped with methods for plotting and converting to Pandas or NetworkX for further analysis. See the notebook on how HDBSCAN works for examples and further details.

The clusterer objects also have an attribute providing cluster membership strengths, resulting in optional soft clustering (and no further compute expense). Finally each cluster also receives a persistence score giving the stability of the cluster over the range of distance scales present in the data. This provides a measure of the relative strength of clusters.

Outlier Detection

The HDBSCAN clusterer objects also support the GLOSH outlier detection algorithm. After fitting the clusterer to data the outlier scores can be accessed via the outlier_scores_ attribute. The result is a vector of score values, one for each data point that was fit. Higher scores represent more outlier like objects. Selecting outliers via upper quantiles is often a good approach.

Based on the paper:
R.J.G.B. Campello, D. Moulavi, A. Zimek and J. Sander Hierarchical Density Estimates for Data Clustering, Visualization, and Outlier Detection, ACM Trans. on Knowledge Discovery from Data, Vol 10, 1 (July 2015), 1-51.

Robust single linkage

The hdbscan package also provides support for the robust single linkage clustering algorithm of Chaudhuri and Dasgupta. As with the HDBSCAN implementation this is a high performance version of the algorithm outperforming scipy's standard single linkage implementation. The robust single linkage hierarchy is available as an attribute of the robust single linkage clusterer, again with the ability to plot or export the hierarchy, and to extract flat clusterings at a given cut level and gamma value.

Example usage:

import hdbscan
from sklearn.datasets import make_blobs

data = make_blobs(1000)

clusterer = hdbscan.RobustSingleLinkage(cut=0.125, k=7)
cluster_labels = clusterer.fit_predict(data)
hierarchy = clusterer.cluster_hierarchy_
alt_labels = hierarchy.get_clusters(0.100, 5)
hierarchy.plot()

Installing

Easiest install, if you have Anaconda (thanks to conda-forge which is awesome!):

conda install -c conda-forge hdbscan

PyPI install, presuming you have sklearn and all its requirements (numpy and scipy) installed:

pip install hdbscan

If pip is having difficulties pulling the dependencies then we'd suggest installing the dependencies manually using anaconda followed by pulling hdbscan from pip:

conda install cython
conda install numpy scipy
conda install scikit-learn
pip install hdbscan

For a manual install get this package:

wget https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/hdbscan/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
rm master.zip
cd hdbscan-master

Install the requirements

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

or

conda install scikit-learn cython

Install the package

python setup.py install

Python Version

The hdbscan library supports both Python 2 and Python 3. However we recommend Python 3 as the better option if it is available to you.

Help and Support

For simple issues you can consult the FAQ in the documentation. If your issue is not suitably resolved there, please check the issues on github. Finally, if no solution is available there feel free to open an issue ; the authors will attempt to respond in a reasonably timely fashion.

Contributing

We welcome contributions in any form! Assistance with documentation, particularly expanding tutorials, is always welcome. To contribute please fork the project make your changes and submit a pull request. We will do our best to work through any issues with you and get your code merged into the main branch.
