sklearn.metrics.adjusted_rand_score

sklearn.metrics.adjusted_rand_score(labels_true, labels_pred)

Rand index adjusted for chance.

The Rand Index computes a similarity measure between two clusterings by considering all pairs of samples and counting pairs that are assigned in the same or different clusters in the predicted and true clusterings.

The raw RI score is then “adjusted for chance” into the ARI score using the following scheme:

ARI = (RI - Expected_RI) / (max(RI) - Expected_RI)

The adjusted Rand index is thus ensured to have a value close to 0.0 for random labeling independently of the number of clusters and samples and exactly 1.0 when the clusterings are identical (up to a permutation). The adjusted Rand index is bounded below by -0.5 for especially discordant clusterings.

ARI is a symmetric measure:

adjusted_rand_score(a, b) == adjusted_rand_score(b, a)

Parameters:
labels_truearray-like of shape (n_samples,), dtype=int

Ground truth class labels to be used as a reference.

labels_predarray-like of shape (n_samples,), dtype=int

Cluster labels to evaluate.

Returns:
ARIfloat

Similarity score between -0.5 and 1.0. Random labelings have an ARI close to 0.0. 1.0 stands for perfect match.

Examples

Perfectly matching labelings have a score of 1 even

>>> from sklearn.metrics.cluster import adjusted_rand_score
>>> adjusted_rand_score([0, 0, 1, 1], [0, 0, 1, 1])
1.0
>>> adjusted_rand_score([0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 1, 0, 0])
1.0

Labelings that assign all classes members to the same clusters are complete but may not always be pure, hence penalized:

>>> adjusted_rand_score([0, 0, 1, 2], [0, 0, 1, 1])
0.57...

ARI is symmetric, so labelings that have pure clusters with members coming from the same classes but unnecessary splits are penalized:

>>> adjusted_rand_score([0, 0, 1, 1], [0, 0, 1, 2])
0.57...

If classes members are completely split across different clusters, the assignment is totally incomplete, hence the ARI is very low:

>>> adjusted_rand_score([0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 2, 3])
0.0

ARI may take a negative value for especially discordant labelings that are a worse choice than the expected value of random labels:

>>> adjusted_rand_score([0, 0, 1, 1], [0, 1, 0, 1])
-0.5
