bandwidth: Bandwidth

In tidyclust: A Common API to Clustering

Bandwidth

Description

The kernel bandwidth used by mean shift to estimate the local density gradient. Smaller values yield more clusters, while larger values merge them.

Usage

bandwidth(range = c(0.01, 1), trans = NULL)

Arguments

range	A two-element vector holding the defaults for the smallest and largest possible values, respectively. If a transformation is specified, these values should be in the transformed units.
trans	A trans object from the scales package, such as scales::transform_log10() or scales::transform_reciprocal(). If not provided, the default is used which matches the units used in range. If no transformation, NULL.

Details

Used in tidyclust::mean_shift() models. The scale on which the bandwidth is interpreted depends on the engine, since some engines rescale predictors internally before applying the kernel.

Value

A dials parameter object for use with tune::tune_grid() and related functions.
