Class KMeans

org.apache.spark.mllib.clustering.KMeans

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Logging

public class KMeans
extends Object
implements scala.Serializable, Logging

K-means clustering with support for multiple parallel runs and a k-means++ like initialization mode (the k-means|| algorithm by Bahmani et al). When multiple concurrent runs are requested, they are executed together with joint passes over the data for efficiency.

This is an iterative algorithm that will make multiple passes over the data, so any RDDs given to it should be cached by the user.

Constructor Detail

KMeans

public KMeans()

Constructs a KMeans instance with default parameters: {k: 2, maxIterations: 20, runs: 1, initializationMode: "k-means||", initializationSteps: 5, epsilon: 1e-4}.

Method Detail

RANDOM

public static String RANDOM()

K_MEANS_PARALLEL

public static String K_MEANS_PARALLEL()

train

public static KMeansModel train(RDD<Vector> data,
                int k,
                int maxIterations,
                int runs,
                String initializationMode)

Trains a k-means model using the given set of parameters.

Parameters:

data - training points stored as RDD[Array[Double}

k - number of clusters

maxIterations - max number of iterations

runs - number of parallel runs, defaults to 1. The best model is returned.

initializationMode - initialization model, either "random" or "k-means||" (default).

train

public static KMeansModel train(RDD<Vector> data,
                int k,
                int maxIterations)

Trains a k-means model using specified parameters and the default values for unspecified.

train

public static KMeansModel train(RDD<Vector> data,
                int k,
                int maxIterations,
                int runs)

Trains a k-means model using specified parameters and the default values for unspecified.

setK

public KMeans setK(int k)

Set the number of clusters to create (k). Default: 2.

setMaxIterations

public KMeans setMaxIterations(int maxIterations)

Set maximum number of iterations to run. Default: 20.

setInitializationMode

public KMeans setInitializationMode(String initializationMode)

Set the initialization algorithm. This can be either "random" to choose random points as initial cluster centers, or "k-means||" to use a parallel variant of k-means++ (Bahmani et al., Scalable K-Means++, VLDB 2012). Default: k-means||.

setRuns

public KMeans setRuns(int runs)

:: Experimental :: Set the number of runs of the algorithm to execute in parallel. We initialize the algorithm this many times with random starting conditions (configured by the initialization mode), then return the best clustering found over any run. Default: 1.

setInitializationSteps

public KMeans setInitializationSteps(int initializationSteps)

Set the number of steps for the k-means|| initialization mode. This is an advanced setting -- the default of 5 is almost always enough. Default: 5.

setEpsilon

public KMeans setEpsilon(double epsilon)

Set the distance threshold within which we've consider centers to have converged. If all centers move less than this Euclidean distance, we stop iterating one run.

run

public KMeansModel run(RDD<Vector> data)

Train a K-means model on the given set of points; data should be cached for high performance, because this is an iterative algorithm.
