mlr_learners_clust.meanshift: Mean Shift Clustering Learner

In mlr3cluster: Cluster Extension for 'mlr3'

Mean Shift Clustering Learner

Description

A LearnerClust for Mean Shift clustering implemented in LPCM::ms(). There is no predict method for LPCM::ms(), so the method returns cluster labels for the 'training' data.

Dictionary

This mlr3::Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr3::mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function mlr3::lrn():

mlr_learners$get("clust.meanshift")
lrn("clust.meanshift")

Meta Information

• Task type: “clust”

• Predict Types: “partition”

• Feature Types: “logical”, “integer”, “numeric”

• Required Packages: mlr3, mlr3cluster, LPCM

Parameters

Id	Type	Default	Range
h	untyped	-	-
subset	untyped	-	-
scaled	integer	1	[0, \infty)
iter	integer	200	[1, \infty)
thr	numeric	0.01	(-\infty, \infty)
