Hierarchical Clustering

Welcome to Lab of Hierarchical Clustering with Python using Scipy and Scikit-learn package.

Hierarchical Clustering - Agglomerative

We will be looking at a clustering technique, which is Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering. Remember that agglomerative is the bottom up approach.

In this lab, we will be looking at Agglomerative clustering, which is more popular than Divisive clustering.

We will also be using Complete Linkage as the Linkage Criteria.
NOTE: You can also try using Average Linkage wherever Complete Linkage would be used to see the difference!

In [1]:
import numpy as np 
import pandas as pd
from scipy import ndimage 
from scipy.cluster import hierarchy 
from scipy.spatial import distance_matrix 
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt 
from sklearn import manifold, datasets 
from sklearn.cluster import AgglomerativeClustering 
from sklearn.datasets.samples_generator import make_blobs 
%matplotlib inline


Generating Random Data

We will be generating a set of data using the make_blobs class.

Input these parameters into make_blobs:

  • n_samples: The total number of points equally divided among clusters.
    • Choose a number from 10-1500
  • centers: The number of centers to generate, or the fixed center locations.
    • Choose arrays of x,y coordinates for generating the centers. Have 1-10 centers (ex. centers=[[1,1], [2,5]])
  • cluster_std: The standard deviation of the clusters. The larger the number, the further apart the clusters
    • Choose a number between 0.5-1.5
    </ul>
    Save the result to X1 and y1.

In [2]:
X1, y1 = make_blobs(n_samples=50, centers=[[4,4], [-2, -1], [1, 1], [10,4]], cluster_std=0.9)

Plot the scatter plot of the randomly generated data

In [3]:
plt.scatter(X1[:, 0], X1[:, 1], marker='o') 
Out[3]:
<matplotlib.collections.PathCollection at 0x7f2f6ba08dd8>


Agglomerative Clustering

We will start by clustering the random data points we just created.

The Agglomerative Clustering class will require two inputs:

  • n_clusters: The number of clusters to form as well as the number of centroids to generate.
    • Value will be: 4
  • linkage: Which linkage criterion to use. The linkage criterion determines which distance to use between sets of observation. The algorithm will merge the pairs of cluster that minimize this criterion.
    • Value will be: 'complete'
    • Note: It is recommended you try everything with 'average' as well
    </ul>
    Save the result to a variable called agglom

In [4]:
agglom = AgglomerativeClustering(n_clusters = 4, linkage = 'average')

Fit the model with X2 and y2 from the generated data above.

In [5]:
agglom.fit(X1,y1)
Out[5]:
AgglomerativeClustering(affinity='euclidean', compute_full_tree='auto',
            connectivity=None, linkage='average', memory=None,
            n_clusters=4, pooling_func='deprecated')

Run the following code to show the clustering!
Remember to read the code and comments to gain more understanding on how the plotting works.

In [6]:
# Create a figure of size 6 inches by 4 inches.
plt.figure(figsize=(6,4))

# These two lines of code are used to scale the data points down,
# Or else the data points will be scattered very far apart.

# Create a minimum and maximum range of X1.
x_min, x_max = np.min(X1, axis=0), np.max(X1, axis=0)

# Get the average distance for X1.
X1 = (X1 - x_min) / (x_max - x_min)

# This loop displays all of the datapoints.
for i in range(X1.shape[0]):
    # Replace the data points with their respective cluster value 
    # (ex. 0) and is color coded with a colormap (plt.cm.spectral)
    plt.text(X1[i, 0], X1[i, 1], str(y1[i]),
             color=plt.cm.nipy_spectral(agglom.labels_[i] / 10.),
             fontdict={'weight': 'bold', 'size': 9})
    
# Remove the x ticks, y ticks, x and y axis
plt.xticks([])
plt.yticks([])
#plt.axis('off')



# Display the plot of the original data before clustering
plt.scatter(X1[:, 0], X1[:, 1], marker='.')
# Display the plot
plt.show()

Dendrogram Associated for the Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering

Remember that a distance matrix contains the distance from each point to every other point of a dataset .
Use the function distance_matrix, which requires two inputs. Use the Feature Matrix, X2 as both inputs and save the distance matrix to a variable called dist_matrix

Remember that the distance values are symmetric, with a diagonal of 0's. This is one way of making sure your matrix is correct.
(print out dist_matrix to make sure it's correct)

In [7]:
dist_matrix = distance_matrix(X1,X1) 
print(dist_matrix)
[[0.         0.83026783 0.69554603 ... 0.83366315 0.65766016 0.44451672]

Using the linkage class from hierarchy, pass in the parameters:

  • The distance matrix
  • 'complete' for complete linkage

Save the result to a variable called Z

In [8]:
Z = hierarchy.linkage(dist_matrix, 'complete')

  """Entry point for launching an IPython kernel.

A Hierarchical clustering is typically visualized as a dendrogram as shown in the following cell. Each merge is represented by a horizontal line. The y-coordinate of the horizontal line is the similarity of the two clusters that were merged, where cities are viewed as singleton clusters. By moving up from the bottom layer to the top node, a dendrogram allows us to reconstruct the history of merges that resulted in the depicted clustering.

Next, we will save the dendrogram to a variable called dendro. In doing this, the dendrogram will also be displayed. Using the dendrogram class from hierarchy, pass in the parameter:

  • Z
In [9]:
dendro = hierarchy.dendrogram(Z)

Practice

We used complete linkage for our case, change it to average linkage to see how the dendogram changes.

In [11]:
# write your code here
Z = hierarchy.linkage(dist_matrix, 'average')
dendro = hierarchy.dendrogram(Z)

Clustering on Vehicle dataset

Imagine that an automobile manufacturer has developed prototypes for a new vehicle. Before introducing the new model into its range, the manufacturer wants to determine which existing vehicles on the market are most like the prototypes--that is, how vehicles can be grouped, which group is the most similar with the model, and therefore which models they will be competing against.

Our objective here, is to use clustering methods, to find the most distinctive clusters of vehicles. It will summarize the existing vehicles and help manufacturers to make decision about the supply of new models.

The feature sets include price in thousands (price), engine size (engine_s), horsepower (horsepow), wheelbase (wheelbas), width (width), length (length), curb weight (curb_wgt), fuel capacity (fuel_cap) and fuel efficiency (mpg).

Data Cleaning

lets simply clear the dataset by dropping the rows that have null value:

In [14]:
print ("Shape of dataset before cleaning: ", pdf.size)
pdf[[ 'sales', 'resale', 'type', 'price', 'engine_s',
       'horsepow', 'wheelbas', 'width', 'length', 'curb_wgt', 'fuel_cap',

Feature selection

Lets select our feature set:

In [15]:
featureset = pdf[['engine_s',  'horsepow', 'wheelbas', 'width', 'length', 'curb_wgt', 'fuel_cap', 'mpg']]

Normalization

Now we can normalize the feature set. MinMaxScaler transforms features by scaling each feature to a given range. It is by default (0, 1). That is, this estimator scales and translates each feature individually such that it is between zero and one.

In [16]:
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
x = featureset.values #returns a numpy array
min_max_scaler = MinMaxScaler()
feature_mtx = min_max_scaler.fit_transform(x)
feature_mtx [0:5]
Out[16]:

        0.5173913 , 0.37788018, 0.23333333]])

Clustering using Scipy

In this part we use Scipy package to cluster the dataset:
First, we calculate the distance matrix.

In [17]:
import scipy
leng = feature_mtx.shape[0]
D = scipy.zeros([leng,leng])
for i in range(leng):
    for j in range(leng):
        D[i,j] = scipy.spatial.distance.euclidean(feature_mtx[i], feature_mtx[j])

In agglomerative clustering, at each iteration, the algorithm must update the distance matrix to reflect the distance of the newly formed cluster with the remaining clusters in the forest. The following methods are supported in Scipy for calculating the distance between the newly formed cluster and each:

- single
- complete
- average
- weighted
- centroid


We use complete for our case, but feel free to change it to see how the results change.

In [18]:
import pylab
import scipy.cluster.hierarchy
Z = hierarchy.linkage(D, 'complete')
/home/jupyterlab/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ipykernel_launcher.py:3: ClusterWarning: scipy.cluster: The symmetric non-negative hollow observation matrix looks suspiciously like an uncondensed distance matrix
  This is separate from the ipykernel package so we can avoid doing imports until

Essentially, Hierarchical clustering does not require a pre-specified number of clusters. However, in some applications we want a partition of disjoint clusters just as in flat clustering. So you can use a cutting line:

In [19]:
from scipy.cluster.hierarchy import fcluster
max_d = 3
clusters = fcluster(Z, max_d, criterion='distance')
clusters
Out[19]:
array([ 1,  5,  5,  6,  5,  4,  6,  5,  5,  5,  5,  5,  4,  4,  5,  1,  6,
        5,  5,  5,  4,  2, 11,  6,  6,  5,  6,  5,  1,  6,  6, 10,  9,  8,
        9,  3,  5,  1,  7,  6,  5,  3,  5,  3,  8,  7,  9,  2,  6,  6,  5,
        4,  2,  1,  6,  5,  2,  7,  5,  5,  5,  4,  4,  3,  2,  6,  6,  5,
        7,  4,  7,  6,  6,  5,  3,  5,  5,  6,  5,  4,  4,  1,  6,  5,  5,
        5,  6,  4,  5,  4,  1,  6,  5,  6,  6,  5,  5,  5,  7,  7,  7,  2,
        2,  1,  2,  6,  5,  1,  1,  1,  7,  8,  1,  1,  6,  1,  1],
      dtype=int32)

Also, you can determine the number of clusters directly:

In [20]:
from scipy.cluster.hierarchy import fcluster
k = 5
clusters = fcluster(Z, k, criterion='maxclust')
clusters
Out[20]:
array([1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1,
       5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2,
       4, 3, 4, 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 3,
       3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2,
       3, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1,
       3, 4, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1], dtype=int32)

Now, plot the dendrogram:

In [21]:
fig = pylab.figure(figsize=(18,50))
def llf(id):
    return '[%s %s %s]' % (pdf['manufact'][id], pdf['model'][id], int(float(pdf['type'][id])) )
    
dendro = hierarchy.dendrogram(Z,  leaf_label_func=llf, leaf_rotation=0, leaf_font_size =12, orientation = 'right')

Clustering using scikit-learn

Lets redo it again, but this time using scikit-learn package:

In [22]:
dist_matrix = distance_matrix(feature_mtx,feature_mtx) 
print(dist_matrix)
[[0.         0.57777143 0.75455727 ... 0.28530295 0.24917241 0.18879995]
 [0.57777143 0.         0.22798938 ... 0.36087756 0.66346677 0.62201282]

 ...
 [0.28530295 0.36087756 0.51727787 ... 0.         0.41797928 0.35720492]
 [0.24917241 0.66346677 0.81786095 ... 0.41797928 0.         0.15212198]
 [0.18879995 0.62201282 0.77930119 ... 0.35720492 0.15212198 0.        ]]

Now, we can use the 'AgglomerativeClustering' function from scikit-learn library to cluster the dataset. The AgglomerativeClustering performs a hierarchical clustering using a bottom up approach. The linkage criteria determines the metric used for the merge strategy:

  • Ward minimizes the sum of squared differences within all clusters. It is a variance-minimizing approach and in this sense is similar to the k-means objective function but tackled with an agglomerative hierarchical approach.
  • Maximum or complete linkage minimizes the maximum distance between observations of pairs of clusters.
  • Average linkage minimizes the average of the distances between all observations of pairs of clusters.
In [23]:
agglom = AgglomerativeClustering(n_clusters = 6, linkage = 'complete')
agglom.fit(feature_mtx)
agglom.labels_
Out[23]:
array([1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 5, 1,
       4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 0, 0, 0, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3,
       0, 3, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1,
       1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 5, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 3,
       2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1,
       2, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1])

And, we can add a new field to our dataframe to show the cluster of each row:

In [24]:
pdf['cluster_'] = agglom.labels_
pdf.head()

As you can see, we are seeing the distribution of each cluster using the scatter plot, but it is not very clear where is the centroid of each cluster. Moreover, there are 2 types of vehicles in our dataset, "truck" (value of 1 in the type column) and "car" (value of 1 in the type column). So, we use them to distinguish the classes, and summarize the cluster. First we count the number of cases in each group:

In [26]:
pdf.groupby(['cluster_','type'])['cluster_'].count()
Out[26]:
cluster_  type
0         1.0      6
1         0.0     47
          1.0      5
2         0.0     27
          1.0     11
3         0.0     10
          1.0      7
4         0.0      1
5         0.0      3
Name: cluster_, dtype: int64

Now we can look at the characteristics of each cluster:

In [27]:
agg_cars = pdf.groupby(['cluster_','type'])['horsepow','engine_s','mpg','price'].mean()
agg_cars
Out[27]:
horsepow engine_s mpg price
cluster_ type
0 1.0 211.666667 4.483333 16.166667 29.024667
1 0.0 146.531915 2.246809 27.021277 20.306128
1.0 145.000000 2.580000 22.200000 17.009200
2 0.0 203.111111 3.303704 24.214815 27.750593
1.0 182.090909 3.345455 20.181818 26.265364
3 0.0 256.500000 4.410000 21.500000 42.870400
1.0 160.571429 3.071429 21.428571 21.527714
4 0.0 55.000000 1.000000 45.000000 9.235000
5 0.0 365.666667 6.233333 19.333333 66.010000

It is obvious that we have 3 main clusters with the majority of vehicles in those.

Cars:

  • Cluster 1: with almost high mpg, and low in horsepower.
  • Cluster 2: with good mpg and horsepower, but higher price than average.
  • Cluster 3: with low mpg, high horsepower, highest price.

Trucks:

  • Cluster 1: with almost highest mpg among trucks, and lowest in horsepower and price.
  • Cluster 2: with almost low mpg and medium horsepower, but higher price than average.
  • Cluster 3: with good mpg and horsepower, low price.

Please notice that we did not use type , and price of cars in the clustering process, but Hierarchical clustering could forge the clusters and discriminate them with quite high accuracy.
