.KMeans¶
- class sklearn.cluster.KMeans(n_clusters=8, *, init='k-means++', n_init='auto', max_iter=300, tol=0.0001, verbose=0, random_state=None, copy_x=True, algorithm='lloyd')¶
K-Means clustering.
Read more in the User Guide.
- Parameters:
- n_clustersint, default=8
The number of clusters to form as well as the number of centroids to generate.
For an example of how to choose an optimal value for
n_clusters
refer to Selecting the number of clusters with silhouette analysis on KMeans clustering.- init{‘k-means++’, ‘random’}, callable or array-like of shape (n_clusters, n_features), default=’k-means++’
Method for initialization:
‘k-means++’ : selects initial cluster centroids using sampling based on an empirical probability distribution of the points’ contribution to the overall inertia. This technique speeds up convergence. The algorithm implemented is “greedy k-means++”. It differs from the vanilla k-means++ by making several trials at each sampling step and choosing the best centroid among them.
‘random’: choose
n_clusters
observations (rows) at random from data for the initial centroids.If an array is passed, it should be of shape (n_clusters, n_features) and gives the initial centers.
If a callable is passed, it should take arguments X, n_clusters and a random state and return an initialization.
For an example of how to use the different
init
strategy, see the example entitled A demo of K-Means clustering on the handwritten digits data.- n_init‘auto’ or int, default=’auto’
Number of times the k-means algorithm is run with different centroid seeds. The final results is the best output of
n_init
consecutive runs in terms of inertia. Several runs are recommended for sparse high-dimensional problems (see Clustering sparse data with k-means).When
n_init='auto'
, the number of runs depends on the value of init: 10 if usinginit='random'
orinit
is a callable; 1 if usinginit='k-means++'
orinit
is an array-like.New in version 1.2: Added ‘auto’ option for
n_init
.Changed in version 1.4: Default value for
n_init
changed to'auto'
.- max_iterint, default=300
Maximum number of iterations of the k-means algorithm for a single run.
- tolfloat, default=1e-4
Relative tolerance with regards to Frobenius norm of the difference in the cluster centers of two consecutive iterations to declare convergence.
- verboseint, default=0
Verbosity mode.
- random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None
Determines random number generation for centroid initialization. Use an int to make the randomness deterministic. See Glossary.
- copy_xbool, default=True
When pre-computing distances it is more numerically accurate to center the data first. If copy_x is True (default), then the original data is not modified. If False, the original data is modified, and put back before the function returns, but small numerical differences may be introduced by subtracting and then adding the data mean. Note that if the original data is not C-contiguous, a copy will be made even if copy_x is False. If the original data is sparse, but not in CSR format, a copy will be made even if copy_x is False.
- algorithm{“lloyd”, “elkan”}, default=”lloyd”
K-means algorithm to use. The classical EM-style algorithm is
"lloyd"
. The"elkan"
variation can be more efficient on some datasets with well-defined clusters, by using the triangle inequality. However it’s more memory intensive due to the allocation of an extra array of shape(n_samples, n_clusters)
.Changed in version 0.18: Added Elkan algorithm
Changed in version 1.1: Renamed “full” to “lloyd”, and deprecated “auto” and “full”. Changed “auto” to use “lloyd” instead of “elkan”.
- Attributes:
- cluster_centers_ndarray of shape (n_clusters, n_features)
Coordinates of cluster centers. If the algorithm stops before fully converging (see
tol
andmax_iter
), these will not be consistent withlabels_
.- labels_ndarray of shape (n_samples,)
Labels of each point
- inertia_float
Sum of squared distances of samples to their closest cluster center, weighted by the sample weights if provided.
- n_iter_int
Number of iterations run.
- n_features_in_int
Number of features seen during fit.
New in version 0.24.
- feature_names_in_ndarray of shape (
n_features_in_
,) Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when
X
has feature names that are all strings.New in version 1.0.

MiniBatchKMeans
Alternative online implementation that does incremental updates of the centers positions using mini-batches. For large scale learning (say n_samples > 10k) MiniBatchKMeans is probably much faster than the default batch implementation.
Notes
The k-means problem is solved using either Lloyd’s or Elkan’s algorithm.
The average complexity is given by O(k n T), where n is the number of samples and T is the number of iteration.
The worst case complexity is given by O(n^(k+2/p)) with n = n_samples, p = n_features. Refer to “How slow is the k-means method?” D. Arthur and S. Vassilvitskii - SoCG2006. for more details.
In practice, the k-means algorithm is very fast (one of the fastest clustering algorithms available), but it falls in local minima. That’s why it can be useful to restart it several times.
If the algorithm stops before fully converging (because of
tol
ormax_iter
),labels_
andcluster_centers_
will not be consistent, i.e. thecluster_centers_
will not be the means of the points in each cluster. Also, the estimator will reassignlabels_
after the last iteration to makelabels_
consistent withpredict
on the training set.Examples
>>> from sklearn.cluster import KMeans >>> import numpy as np >>> X = np.array([[1, 2], [1, 4], [1, 0], ... [10, 2], [10, 4], [10, 0]]) >>> kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=2, random_state=0, n_init="auto").fit(X) >>> kmeans.labels_ array([1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0], dtype=int32) >>> kmeans.predict([[0, 0], [12, 3]]) array([1, 0], dtype=int32) >>> kmeans.cluster_centers_ array([[10., 2.], [ 1., 2.]])
