The hdbscan package comes equipped with visualization tools to help you
46
+
understand your clustering results. After fitting data the clusterer
47
+
object has attributes for:
48
+
49
+
* The condensed cluster hierarchy
50
+
* The robust single linkage cluster hierarchy
51
+
* The reachability distance minimal spanning tree
52
+
53
+
All of which come equipped with methods for plotting and converting
54
+
to Pandas or NetworkX for further analysis. See the notebook on
55
+
`how HDBSCAN works <http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/lmcinnes/hdbscan/blob/master/notebooks/How%20HDBSCAN%20Works.ipynb>`_ for examples and further details.
56
+
57
+
The clusterer objects also have an attribute providing cluster membership
58
+
strengths, resulting in optional soft clustering (and no further compute
59
+
expense)

Robust single linkage
63

---------------------
64

65
+
The hdbscan package also provides support for the *robust single linkage*
66
+
clustering algorithm of Chaudhuri and Dasgupta. As with the HDBSCAN
67
+
implementation this is a high performance version of the algorithm
68
+
outperforming scipy's standard single linkage implementation. The
69
+
robust single linkage hierarchy is available as an attribute of
70
+
the robust single linkage clusterer, again with the ability to plot
71
+
or export the hierarchy, and to extract flat clusterings at a given
72
+
cut level and gamma value.
