Augment data with predictions

Description

augment() will add column(s) for predictions to the given data.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cluster_fit'
augment(x, new_data, ...)

Arguments

x

A cluster_fit object produced by fit.cluster_spec() or fit_xy.cluster_spec() .

new_data

A data frame or matrix.

...

Not currently used.

Details

For partition models, a .pred_cluster column is added.

Value

A tibble::tibble() with containing new_data with columns added depending on the mode of the model.

Examples

kmeans_spec <- k_means(num_clusters = 5) %>%
  set_engine("stats")

kmeans_fit <- fit(kmeans_spec, ~., mtcars)

kmeans_fit %>%
  augment(new_data = mtcars)

Model Fit Object Information

Description

An object with class "cluster_fit" is a container for information about a model that has been fit to the data.

Details

The following model types are implemented in tidyclust:

The main elements of the object are:

  • spec: A cluster_spec object.

  • fit: The object produced by the fitting function.

  • preproc: This contains any data-specific information required to process new a sample point for prediction. For example, if the underlying model function requires arguments x and the user passed a formula to fit, the preproc object would contain items such as the terms object and so on. When no information is required, this is NA.

As discussed in the documentation for cluster_spec, the original arguments to the specification are saved as quosures. These are evaluated for the cluster_fit object prior to fitting. If the resulting model object prints its call, any user-defined options are shown in the call preceded by a tilde (see the example below). This is a result of the use of quosures in the specification.

This class and structure is the basis for how tidyclust stores model objects after seeing the data and applying a model.


Combine metric functions

Description

cluster_metric_set() allows you to combine multiple metric functions together into a new function that calculates all of them at once.

Usage

cluster_metric_set(...)

Arguments

...

The bare names of the functions to be included in the metric set. These functions must be cluster metrics such as sse_total(), sse_ratio(), or silhouette_avg().

Details

All functions must be:

  • Only cluster metrics

Value

A cluster_metric_set() object, combining the use of all input metrics.


Model Specification Information

Description

An object with class "cluster_spec" is a container for information about a model that will be fit.

Details

The following model types are implemented in tidyclust:

The main elements of the object are:

  • args: A vector of the main arguments for the model. The names of these arguments may be different from their counterparts n the underlying model function. For example, for a k_means() model, the argument name for the number of clusters are called "num_clusters" instead of "k" to make it more general and usable across different types of models (and to not be specific to a particular model function). The elements of args can tune() with the use in tune_cluster().

For more information see https://www.tidymodels.org/start/tuning/. If left to their defaults (NULL), the arguments will use the underlying model functions default value. As discussed below, the arguments in args are captured as quosures and are not immediately executed.

  • ...: Optional model-function-specific parameters. As with args, these will be quosures and can be tune().

  • mode: The type of model, such as "partition". Other modes will be added once the package adds more functionality.

  • method: This is a slot that is filled in later by the model's constructor function. It generally contains lists of information that are used to create the fit and prediction code as well as required packages and similar data.

  • engine: This character string declares exactly what software will be used. It can be a package name or a technology type.

This class and structure is the basis for how tidyclust stores model objects prior to seeing the data.

Argument Details

An important detail to understand when creating model specifications is that they are intended to be functionally independent of the data. While it is true that some tuning parameters are data dependent, the model specification does not interact with the data at all.

For example, most R functions immediately evaluate their arguments. For example, when calling mean(dat_vec), the object dat_vec is immediately evaluated inside of the function.

tidyclust model functions do not do this. For example, using

  k_means(num_clusters = ncol(mtcars) / 5)

does not execute ncol(mtcars) / 5 when creating the specification. This can be seen in the output:

  > k_means(num_clusters = ncol(mtcars) / 5)
  K Means Cluster Specification (partition)

  Main Arguments:
    num_clusters = ncol(mtcars)/5

  Computational engine: stats

The model functions save the argument expressions and their associated environments (a.k.a. a quosure) to be evaluated later when either fit.cluster_spec() or fit_xy.cluster_spec() are called with the actual data.

The consequence of this strategy is that any data required to get the parameter values must be available when the model is fit. The two main ways that this can fail is if:

  1. The data have been modified between the creation of the model specification and when the model fit function is invoked.

  2. If the model specification is saved and loaded into a new session where those same data objects do not exist.

The best way to avoid these issues is to not reference any data objects in the global environment but to use data descriptors such as .cols(). Another way of writing the previous specification is

  k_means(num_clusters = .cols() / 5)

This is not dependent on any specific data object and is evaluated immediately before the model fitting process begins.

One less advantageous approach to solving this issue is to use quasiquotation. This would insert the actual R object into the model specification and might be the best idea when the data object is small. For example, using

  k_means(num_clusters = ncol(!!mtcars) - 1)

would work (and be reproducible between sessions) but embeds the entire mtcars data set into the num_clusters expression:

 > k_means(num_clusters = ncol(!!mtcars) / 5)
 K Means Cluster Specification (partition)

 Main Arguments:
   num_clusters = ncol(structure(list(mpg = c(21, 21, 22.8, 21.4, 18.7,<snip>

 Computational engine: stats

However, if there were an object with the number of columns in it, this wouldn't be too bad:

 > num_clusters_val <- ncol(mtcars) / 5
 > num_clusters_val
 [1] 10
 > k_means(num_clusters = !!num_clusters_val)
 K Means Cluster Specification (partition)

 Main Arguments:
   num_clusters = 2.2

More information on quosures and quasiquotation can be found at https://adv-r.hadley.nz/quasiquotation.html.


Control the fit function

Description

Options can be passed to the fit.cluster_spec() function that control the output and computations.

Usage

control_cluster(verbosity = 1L, catch = FALSE)

Arguments

verbosity

An integer where a value of zero indicates that no messages or output should be shown when packages are loaded or when the model is fit. A value of 1 means that package loading is quiet but model fits can produce output to the screen (depending on if they contain their own verbose-type argument). A value of 2 or more indicates that any output should be seen.

catch

A logical where a value of TRUE will evaluate the model inside of try(, silent = TRUE). If the model fails, an object is still returned (without an error) that inherits the class "try-error".

Value

An S3 object with class "control_cluster" that is a named list with the results of the function call

Examples

control_cluster()

control_cluster(catch = TRUE)

Cut Height

Description

Used in most tidyclust::hier_clust() models.

Usage

cut_height(range = c(0, dials::unknown()), 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.

Examples

cut_height()

Extract clusters from model

Description

When applied to a fitted cluster specification, returns a tibble with cluster location. When such locations doesn't make sense for the model, a mean location is used.

Usage

extract_centroids(object, ...)

Arguments

object

An fitted cluster_spec object.

...

Other arguments passed to methods. Using the prefix allows you to change the prefix in the levels of the factor levels.

Details

Some model types such as K-means as seen in k_means() stores the centroid in the object itself. leading the use of this function to act as an simple extract. Other model types such as Hierarchical (Agglomerative) Clustering as seen in hier_clust(), are fit in such a way that the number of clusters can be determined at any time after the fit. Setting the num_clusters or cut_height in this function will be used to determine the clustering when reported.

Further more, some models like hier_clust(), doesn't have a notion of "centroids". The mean of the observation within each cluster assignment is returned as the centroid.

The ordering of the clusters is such that the first observation in the training data set will be in cluster 1, the next observation that doesn't belong to cluster 1 will be in cluster 2, and so on and forth. As the ordering of clustering doesn't matter, this is done to avoid identical sets of clustering having different labels if fit multiple times.

Related functions

extract_centroids() is a part of a trio of functions doing similar things:

Value

A tibble::tibble() with 1 row for each centroid and their position. .cluster denotes the cluster name for the centroid. The remaining variables match variables passed into model.

  extract_centroids()

# Some models such as `hier_clust()` fits in such a way that you can specify
# the number of clusters after the model is fit.
# A Hierarchical (Agglomerative) Clustering method doesn't technically have
# clusters, so the center of the observation within each cluster is returned
# instead.
hclust_spec <- hier_clust() %>%
  set_engine("stats")

hclust_fit <- fit(hclust_spec, ~., mtcars)

hclust_fit %>%
  extract_centroids(num_clusters = 2)

hclust_fit %>%
  extract_centroids(cut_height = 250)

Extract cluster assignments from model

Description

When applied to a fitted cluster specification, returns a tibble with cluster assignments of the data used to train the model.

Usage

extract_cluster_assignment(object, ...)

Arguments

object

An fitted cluster_spec object.

...

Other arguments passed to methods. Using the prefix allows you to change the prefix in the levels of the factor levels.

Details

S3 method to get fitted model summary info depending on engine

Description

S3 method to get fitted model summary info depending on engine

Usage

extract_fit_summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object

a fitted cluster_spec object

...

other arguments passed to methods

Details

The elements cluster_names and cluster_assignments will be factors.

Value

A list with various summary elements

Examples

kmeans_spec <- k_means(num_clusters = 5) %>%
  set_engine("stats")

kmeans_fit <- fit(kmeans_spec, ~., mtcars)

kmeans_fit %>%
  extract_fit_summary()

Extract elements of a tidyclust model object

Description

These functions extract various elements from a clustering object. If they do not exist yet, an error is thrown.

  • extract_fit_engine() returns the engine specific fit embedded within a tidyclust model fit. For example, when using k_means() with the "lm" engine, this returns the underlying kmeans object.

  • extract_parameter_set_dials() returns a set of dials parameter objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cluster_fit'
extract_fit_engine(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'cluster_spec'
extract_parameter_set_dials(x, ...)

Arguments

x

A cluster_fit object or a cluster_spec object.

...

Not currently used.

Details

Extracting the underlying engine fit can be helpful for describing the model (via print(), summary(), plot(), etc.) or for variable importance/explainers.

However, users should not invoke the predict() method on an extracted model. There may be preprocessing operations that tidyclust has executed on the data prior to giving it to the model. Bypassing these can lead to errors or silently generating incorrect predictions.

Good:

   tidyclust_fit %>% predict(new_data)

Bad:

   tidyclust_fit %>% extract_fit_engine() %>% predict(new_data)

Value

The extracted value from the tidyclust object, x, as described in the description section.

Examples

kmeans_spec <- k_means(num_clusters = 2)
kmeans_fit <- fit(kmeans_spec, ~., data = mtcars)

extract_fit_engine(kmeans_fit)

Splice final parameters into objects

Description

The ⁠finalize_*⁠ functions take a list or tibble of tuning parameter values and update objects with those values.

Usage

finalize_model_tidyclust(x, parameters)

finalize_workflow_tidyclust(x, parameters)

Arguments

x

A recipe, parsnip model specification, or workflow.

parameters

A list or 1-row tibble of parameter values. Note that the column names of the tibble should be the id fields attached to tune(). For example, in the Examples section below, the model has tune("K"). In this case, the parameter tibble should be "K" and not "neighbors".

Value

An updated version of x.

Examples

kmeans_spec <- k_means(num_clusters = tune())
kmeans_spec

best_params <- data.frame(num_clusters = 5)
best_params

finalize_model_tidyclust(kmeans_spec, best_params)

Fit a Model Specification to a Data Set

Description

fit() and fit_xy() take a model specification, translate_tidyclust the required code by substituting arguments, and execute the model fit routine.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cluster_spec'
fit(object, formula, data, control = control_cluster(), ...)

## S3 method for class 'cluster_spec'
fit_xy(object, x, case_weights = NULL, control = control_cluster(), ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class cluster_spec that has a chosen engine (via set_engine()).

formula

An object of class formula (or one that can be coerced to that class): a symbolic description of the model to be fitted.

data

Optional, depending on the interface (see Details below). A data frame containing all relevant variables (e.g. predictors, case weights, etc). Note: when needed, a named argument should be used.

control

A named list with elements verbosity and catch. See control_cluster().

...

Not currently used; values passed here will be ignored. Other options required to fit the model should be passed using set_engine().

x

A matrix, sparse matrix, or data frame of predictors. Only some models have support for sparse matrix input. See modelenv::get_encoding() for details. x should have column names.

case_weights

An optional classed vector of numeric case weights. This must return TRUE when hardhat::is_case_weights() is run on it. See hardhat::frequency_weights() and hardhat::importance_weights() for examples.

Details

fit() and fit_xy() substitute the current arguments in the model specification into the computational engine's code, check them for validity, then fit the model using the data and the engine-specific code. Different model functions have different interfaces (e.g. formula or x/y) and these functions translate_tidyclust between the interface used when fit() or fit_xy() was invoked and the one required by the underlying model.

When possible, these functions attempt to avoid making copies of the data. For example, if the underlying model uses a formula and fit() is invoked, the original data are references when the model is fit. However, if the underlying model uses something else, such as x/y, the formula is evaluated and the data are converted to the required format. In this case, any calls in the resulting model objects reference the temporary objects used to fit the model.

If the model engine has not been set, the model's default engine will be used (as discussed on each model page). If the verbosity option of control_cluster() is greater than zero, a warning will be produced.

If you would like to use an alternative method for generating contrasts when supplying a formula to fit(), set the global option contrasts to your preferred method. For example, you might set it to: options(contrasts = c(unordered = "contr.helmert", ordered = "contr.poly")). See the help page for stats::contr.treatment() for more possible contrast types.

Value

A cluster_fit object that contains several elements:

  • spec: The model specification object (object in the call to fit)

  • fit: when the model is executed without error, this is the model object. Otherwise, it is a try-error object with the error message.

  • preproc: any objects needed to convert between a formula and non-formula interface (such as the terms object)

The return value will also have a class related to the fitted model (e.g. "_kmeans") before the base class of "cluster_fit".

A fitted cluster_fit object.

Hierarchical (Agglomerative) Clustering

Description

hier_clust() defines a model that fits clusters based on a distance-based dendrogram

There are different ways to fit this model, and the method of estimation is chosen by setting the model engine. The engine-specific pages for this model are listed below.

Usage

hier_clust(
  mode = "partition",
  engine = "stats",
  num_clusters = NULL,
  cut_height = NULL,
  linkage_method = "complete"
)

Arguments

mode

A single character string for the type of model. The only possible value for this model is "partition".

engine

A single character string specifying what computational engine to use for fitting. Possible engines are listed below. The default for this model is "stats".

num_clusters

Positive integer, number of clusters in model (optional).

cut_height

Positive double, height at which to cut dendrogram to obtain cluster assignments (only used if num_clusters is NULL)

linkage_method

the agglomeration method to be used. This should be (an unambiguous abbreviation of) one of "ward.D", "ward.D2", "single", "complete", "average" (= UPGMA), "mcquitty" (= WPGMA), "median" (= WPGMC) or "centroid" (= UPGMC).

Details

What does it mean to predict?

To predict the cluster assignment for a new observation, we find the closest cluster. How we measure “closeness” is dependent on the specified type of linkage in the model:

  • single linkage: The new observation is assigned to the same cluster as its nearest observation from the training data.

  • complete linkage: The new observation is assigned to the cluster with the smallest maximum distances between training observations and the new observation.

  • average linkage: The new observation is assigned to the cluster with the smallest average distances between training observations and the new observation.

  • centroid method: The new observation is assigned to the cluster with the closest centroid, as in prediction for k_means.

  • Ward’s method: The new observation is assigned to the cluster with the smallest increase in error sum of squares (ESS) due to the new addition. The ESS is computed as the sum of squared distances between observations in a cluster, and the centroid of the cluster.

Value

A hier_clust cluster specification.

Examples

# Show all engines
modelenv::get_from_env("hier_clust")

hier_clust()

K-Means

Description

k_means() defines a model that fits clusters based on distances to a number of centers. This definition doesn't just include K-means, but includes models like K-prototypes.

There are different ways to fit this model, and the method of estimation is chosen by setting the model engine. The engine-specific pages for this model are listed below.

Usage

k_means(mode = "partition", engine = "stats", num_clusters = NULL)

Arguments

mode

A single character string for the type of model. The only possible value for this model is "partition".

engine

A single character string specifying what computational engine to use for fitting. Possible engines are listed below. The default for this model is "stats".

num_clusters

Positive integer, number of clusters in model.

Details

What does it mean to predict?

For a K-means model, each cluster is defined by a location in the predictor space. Therefore, prediction in tidyclust is defined by calculating which cluster centroid an observation is closest too.

Value

A k_means cluster specification.

Examples

# Show all engines
modelenv::get_from_env("k_means")

k_means()

The agglomeration Linkage method

Description

The agglomeration Linkage method

Usage

linkage_method(values = values_linkage_method)

values_linkage_method

Arguments

values

A character string of possible values. See linkage_methods in examples below.

Format

An object of class character of length 8.

Details

This parameter is used in tidyclust models for hier_clust().

Examples

values_linkage_method
linkage_method()

Determine the minimum set of model fits

Description

Determine the minimum set of model fits

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cluster_spec'
min_grid(x, grid, ...)

Arguments

x

A cluster specification.

grid

A tibble with tuning parameter combinations.

...

Not currently used.

Value

A tibble with the minimum tuning parameters to fit and an additional list column with the parameter combinations used for prediction.


Construct a new clustering metric function

Description

These functions provide convenient wrappers to create the one type of metric functions in celrry: clustering metrics. They add a metric-specific class to fn. These features are used by cluster_metric_set() and by tune_cluster() when tuning.

Usage

new_cluster_metric(fn, direction)

Arguments

fn

A function.

direction

A string. One of:

  • "maximize"

  • "minimize"

  • "zero"

Value

A cluster_metric object.


Model predictions

Description

Apply to a model to create different types of predictions. predict() can be used for all types of models and uses the "type" argument for more specificity.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cluster_fit'
predict(object, new_data, type = NULL, opts = list(), ...)

## S3 method for class 'cluster_fit'
predict_raw(object, new_data, opts = list(), ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class cluster_fit.

new_data

A rectangular data object, such as a data frame.

type

A single character value or NULL. Possible values are "cluster", or "raw". When NULL, predict() will choose an appropriate value based on the model's mode.

opts

A list of optional arguments to the underlying predict function that will be used when type = "raw". The list should not include options for the model object or the new data being predicted.

...

Arguments to the underlying model's prediction function cannot be passed here (see opts).

Details

If "type" is not supplied to predict(), then a choice is made:

  • type = "cluster" for clustering models

predict() is designed to provide a tidy result (see "Value" section below) in a tibble output format.

The ordering of the clusters is such that the first observation in the training data set will be in cluster 1, the next observation that doesn't belong to cluster 1 will be in cluster 2, and so on and forth. As the ordering of clustering doesn't matter, this is done to avoid identical sets of clustering having different labels if fit multiple times.

What does it mean to predict?

Prediction is not always formally defined for clustering models. Therefore, each cluster_spec method will have their own section on how "prediction" is interpreted, and done if implemented.

Related functions

predict() when used with tidyclust objects is a part of a trio of functions doing similar things:

Value

With the exception of type = "raw", the results of predict.cluster_fit() will be a tibble as many rows in the output as there are rows in new_data and the column names will be predictable.

For clustering results the tibble will have a .pred_cluster column.

Using type = "raw" with predict.cluster_fit() will return the unadulterated results of the prediction function.

When the model fit failed and the error was captured, the predict() function will return the same structure as above but filled with missing values. This does not currently work for multivariate models.

Arguments

object

A fitted cluster_spec object.

Relabels clusters to match another cluster assignment

Description

When forcing one-to-one, the user needs to decide what to prioritize:

  • "accuracy": optimize raw count of all observations with the same label across the two assignments

  • "precision": optimize the average percent of each alt cluster that matches the corresponding primary cluster

Usage

  primary,
  alternative,
  one_to_one = TRUE,
  optimize = "accuracy"
)

Arguments

primary

A vector containing cluster labels, to be matched

alternative

Another vector containing cluster labels, to be changed

one_to_one

Boolean; should each alt cluster match only one primary cluster?

optimize

One of "accuracy" or "precision"; see description.

Details

Retains the cluster labels of the primary assignment, and relabel the alternate assignment to match as closely as possible. The user must decide whether clusters are forced to be "one-to-one"; that is, are we allowed to assign multiple labels from the alternate assignment to the same primary label?

Value

A tibble with 3 columns; primary, alt, alt_recoded

Examples

factor1 <- c("Apple", "Apple", "Carrot", "Carrot", "Banana", "Banana")
factor2 <- c("Dog", "Dog", "Cat", "Dog", "Fish", "Fish")
reconcile_clusterings_mapping(factor1, factor2)

Resolve a Model Specification for a Computational Engine

Description

translate_tidyclust() will translate_tidyclust a model specification into a code object that is specific to a particular engine (e.g. R package). It translate tidyclust generic parameters to their counterparts.

Usage

translate_tidyclust(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
translate_tidyclust(x, engine = x$engine, ...)

Arguments

x

A model specification.

...

Not currently used.

engine

The computational engine for the model (see ?set_engine).

Details

translate_tidyclust() produces a template call that lacks the specific argument values (such as data, etc). These are filled in once fit() is called with the specifics of the data for the model. The call may also include tune() arguments if these are in the specification. To handle the tune() arguments, you need to use the tune package. For more information see https://www.tidymodels.org/start/tuning/

It does contain the resolved argument names that are specific to the model fitting function/engine.

This function can be useful when you need to understand how tidyclust goes from a generic model specific to a model fitting function.

Note: this function is used internally and users should only use it to understand what the underlying syntax would be. It should not be used to modify the cluster specification.

Value

Prints translated code.


Model tuning via grid search

tune_cluster(
  object,
  preprocessor,
  resamples,

...

Not currently used.

preprocessor

A traditional model formula or a recipe created using recipes::recipe().

resamples

Arguments

object

A cluster specification.

parameters
