Databonic swarm clustering (DBS)

Description

DBS is a flexible and robust clustering framework that consists of three independent modules. The first module is the parameter-free projection method Pswarm Pswarm, which exploits the concepts of self-organization and emergence, game theory, swarm intelligence and symmetry considerations [Thrun/Ultsch, 2021]. The second module is a parameter-free high-dimensional data visualization technique, which generates projected points on a topographic map with hypsometric colors GeneratePswarmVisualization, called the generalized U-matrix. The third module is a clustering method with no sensitive parameters DBSclustering (see [Thrun, 2018, p. 104 ff]). The clustering can be verified by the visualization and vice versa. The term DBS refers to the method as a whole.

The DBSclustering function applies the automated Clustering approach of the Databonic swarm using abstract U distances, which are the geodesic distances based on high-dimensional distances combined with low dimensional graph paths by using ShortestGraphPathsC.

Usage

DBSclustering(k, DataOrDistance, BestMatches, LC, StructureType = TRUE,
PlotIt = FALSE, ylab,main, method = "euclidean",...)

Arguments

k

number of clusters, how many to you see in the topographic map (3D landscape)?

DataOrDistance

Either [1:n,1:d] Matrix of Data (n cases, d dimensions) that will be used. One DataPoint per row or symmetric Distance matrix [1:n,1:n]

BestMatches

[1:n,1:2] Matrix with positions of Bestmatches or ProjectedPoints, one matrix line per data point

LC

grid size c(Lines,Columns), please see details

StructureType

Optional, bool; = TRUE: compact structure of clusters assumed, =FALSE: connected structure of clusters assumed. For the two options for Clusters, see [Thrun, 2018] or Handl et al. 2006

PlotIt

Optional, bool, Plots Dendrogramm

ylab

Optional, character vector, ylabel of dendrogramm

main

Optional, character vctor, title of dendrogramm

method

Optional, one of 39 distance methods of parDist of package parallelDist, if Data matrix is chosen above

...

Further arguments passed on to the parDist function, e.g. user-defined distance functions

Details

The input of the LC parameter depends on the choice of Bestmatches input argument. Usually as the name of the argument states, the Bestmatches of the GeneratePswarmVisualization function are used which is define in the notation of self-organizing map. In this case please see example one.

However, as written above, clustering and visualization can be applied independently of each other. In this case the places of Lines L and Columns C are switched because Lines is a value slightly above the maximum of the x-coordinates and Columns is a value slightly above the maximum of the y-coordinates of ProjectedPoint. Hence, one should give DBSclustering the argument LC as shown in example 2.

Often it is better to mark the outliers manually after the prozess of clustering and sometimes a clustering can be improved through human interaction [Thrun/Ultsch,2017] <DOI:10.13140/RG.2.2.13124.53124>; use in this case the visualization plotTopographicMap of the package GeneralizedUmatrix. If you would like to mark the outliers interactivly in the visualization use the ProjectionBasedClustering package with the function interactiveClustering(), or for full interactive clustering IPBC(). The package is available on CRAN. An example is shown in case of interactiveClustering() function in the third example.

Value

[1:n] numerical vector of numbers defining the classification as the main output of this cluster analysis for the n cases of data corresponding to the n bestmatches. It has k unique numbers representing the arbitrary labels of the clustering. You can use plotTopographicMap(Umatrix,Bestmatches,Cls) for verification.

Note

If you want to verifiy your clustering result externally, you can use Heatmap or SilhouettePlot of the package DataVisualizations available on CRAN.

Generates the Umatrix for Pswarm algorithm

Description

DBS is a flexible and robust clustering framework that consists of three independent modules. The first module is the parameter-free projection method Pswarm Pswarm, which exploits the concepts of self-organization and emergence, game theory, swarm intelligence and symmetry considerations. The second module is a parameter-free high-dimensional data visualization technique, which generates projected points on a topographic map with hypsometric colors GeneratePswarmVisualization, called the generalized U-matrix. The third module is a clustering method with no sensitive parameters DBSclustering. The clustering can be verified by the visualization and vice versa. The term DBS refers to the method as a whole.

The GeneratePswarmVisualization function generates the special case (please see [Thrun, 2018]) of the generalized Umatrix with the help of an unsupervised neural network (simplified emergent self-organizing map published in [Thrun/Ultsch, 2020]). From the generalized Umatrix a topographic map with hypsometric tints can be visualized. To see this visualization use plotTopographicMap of the package GeneralizedUmatrix.

Usage

GeneratePswarmVisualization(Data, ProjectedPoints, LC, PlotIt=FALSE,
ComputeInR=FALSE, Parallel=TRUE, Tiled = FALSE, DataPerEpoch = 1)

Arguments

Data

[1:n,1:d] array of data: n cases in rows, d variables in columns

ProjectedPoints

matrix, ProjectedPoints[1:n,1:2] n by 2 matrix containing coordinates of the Projection: A matrix of the fitted configuration. see output of Pswarm for further details

LC

size of the grid c(Lines,Columns), number of Lines and Columns automatic calculated by setGridSize in Pswarm

Sometimes is better to choose a different grid size, e.g. to to reduce computional effort contrary to SOM, here the grid size defined only the resolution of the visualizations The real grid size is predfined by Pswarm, but you may choose a factor x*res$LC if you so desire. Therefore, The resulting grid size is given back in the Output.

PlotIt

Optional, default(FALSE), If TRUE than uses plotTopographicMap of the package GeneralizedUmatrix is plotted as a topview in the tiled option, see details for explanation.

ComputeInR

Optional, =TRUE: Rcode, =FALSE C++ implementation

Parallel

Optional, =TRUE: Parallel C++ implementation, =FALSE Sequential C++ implementation

Tiled

Optional, =TRUE: arrangement of four grids for better understanding of edge behaviour, =FALSE: single grid.

DataPerEpoch

Optional: Number between 0 and 1 stating the ratio of data per epoch for training of the generalized u-matrix approach.

Details

Tiled: The topographic map is visualized 4 times because the projection is toroidal. The reason is that there are no border in the visualizations and clusters (if they exist) are not disrupted by borders of the plot.

If you used Pswarm with distance matrix instead of a data matrix (in the sense that you do not have any data matrix available), you may transform your distances into data by using MDS of the ProjectionBasedClustering package in order to use the GeneratePswarmVisualization function. The correct dimension can be found through the Sheppard diagram or kruskals stress.

Value

list of

Bestmatches

matrix [1:n,1:2], BestMatches of the Umatrix, contrary to ESOM they are always fixed, because predefined by GridPoints.

Umatrix

matrix [1:Lines,1:Columns],

WeightsOfNeurons

array [1:Lines,1:Columns,1:d], d is the dimension of the weights, the same as in the ESOM algorithm

GridPoints

matrix [1:n,1:2],quantized projected points: projected points now lie on a predefined grid.

LC

c(Lines,Columns), normally equal to grid size of Pswarm, sometimes it a better or a lower resolution for the visualization is better. Therefore here the grid size of the neurons is given back.

PlotlyHandle

If PlotIt=FALSE: NULL, otherwise plotly object for ploting topview of topographic map

Note

If you used pswarm with distance matrix instead of a data matrix you can mds transform your distances into data (see the MDS function of the ProjectionBasedClustering package.). The correct dimension can be found through the Sheppard diagram or kruskals stress.

Note

The extraction of an island out of the generalized Umatrix can be performed using the interactiveGeneralizedUmatrixIsland function in the package ProjectionBasedClustering.

The main code of both functions GeneralizedUmatrix and GeneratePswarmVisualization is the same C++ function sESOM4BMUs which is described in [Thrun/Ultsch, 2020].

GeneratePswarmVisualization


A Swarm of Databots based on polar coordinates (Polar Swarm).

Description

This projetion method is a part of the databionic swarm which uses the nash equlibrium [Thrun/Ultsch, 2021]. Using polar coordinates for agents (here Databots) in two dimensions has many advantages, for further details see [Thrun, 2018] and [Thrun/Ultsch, 2021].

Usage

Pswarm(DataOrDistance, Cls = NULL, QuadOrHexa = "Hexa", NumJumps = 4,
LC = NULL, Parallel = FALSE, NCores = "max", Verbose = 1,
PlotIt = FALSE, Debug = FALSE, DistanceMeasure = "euclidean",
Eps = 0.001)

Arguments

DataOrDistance

Numeric matrix nxd. Two cases here: d=n => assuming distance matrix d!=n => assuming data matrix with n cases and d features implying the need to compute the distance matrix internally.

Cls

Numeric vector [1:n] with class labels for each observation in DataOrDistance.

QuadOrHexa

Optional, Boolean indicating the geometry of tiles the 2D projection plane is built with.

NumJumps

Integer indicating the number of jumps to be considered for each single databot selected for jumping.

LC

Optional, grid size c(Columns, Lines), sometimes it is better to call setGridSize separately.

Parallel

Optional, Boolean: TRUE = parallel execution, FALSE = single thread execution.

NCores

Character or integer: choice of number of cores of CPU (in case). Can be 'max' or a number. The max will always be 'all available cores - 1', to avoid core overload.

PlotIt

Optional, bool, default=FALSE, If =TRUE, Plots the projection during the computation prozess after every nash equlibirum.

Debug

Optional, Debug, default=FALSE, =TRUE results in various console messages, depricated for CRAN, because cout is not allowed.

DistanceMeasure

Optional, one of 39 distance methods of parDist of package parallelDist, if Data matrix is chosen above

Verbose

optional, integer stating the degree of textual feedback. 0 = no output, 1 = basic notifications, 2 = progress bar, 3 = details.

Eps

optional, double: Stop criterion for convergence of each epoche.

Details

DBS is a flexible and robust clustering framework that consists of three independent modules. The first module is the parameter-free projection method Pswarm Pswarm, which exploits the concepts of self-organization and emergence, game theory, swarm intelligence and symmetry considerations. The second module is a parameter-free high-dimensional data visualization technique, which generates projected points on a topographic map with hypsometric colors GeneratePswarmVisualization, called the generalized U-matrix. The third module is a clustering method with no sensitive parameters DBSclustering. The clustering can be verified by the visualization and vice versa. The term DBS refers to the method as a whole.

Value

List with

ProjectedPoints

[1:n,1:2] xy cartesian coordinates of projection

LC

number of Lines and Columns in c(Lines, Columns)

Control

List, only for intern debugging

Note

LC is now automatically estimated; LC is the size of the grid c(Lines, Columns), number of Lines and Columns, default c(NULL,NULL) and automatic calculation by setGridSize.

"[The] scaling of the inputs determines the effective scaling of the weights in the last layer of a MLP with BP neural netowrk, it can have a large effect on the quality of the final solution. At the outset it is besto to standardize all inputs to have mean zero and standard deviation 1 [(or at least the range under 1)]. This ensures all inputs are treated equally in the regularization prozess, and allows to choose a meaningful range for the random starting weights."[Friedman et al., 2012]
