sklearn.cluster.FeatureAgglomeration  
class sklearn.cluster.FeatureAgglomeration(n_clusters=2, *, affinity='euclidean', memory=None, connectivity=None, compute_full_tree='auto', linkage='ward', pooling_func=<function mean>, distance_threshold=None, compute_distances=False) [source]
 
Agglomerate features. Similar to AgglomerativeClustering, but recursively merges features instead of samples. Read more in the User Guide.  Parameters 
 
n_clustersint, default=2 

The number of clusters to find. It must be None if distance_threshold is not None.  
affinitystr or callable, default=’euclidean’ 

Metric used to compute the linkage. Can be “euclidean”, “l1”, “l2”, “manhattan”, “cosine”, or ‘precomputed’. If linkage is “ward”, only “euclidean” is accepted.  
memorystr or object with the joblib.Memory interface, default=None 

Used to cache the output of the computation of the tree. By default, no caching is done. If a string is given, it is the path to the caching directory.  
connectivityarray-like or callable, default=None 

Connectivity matrix. Defines for each feature the neighboring features following a given structure of the data. This can be a connectivity matrix itself or a callable that transforms the data into a connectivity matrix, such as derived from kneighbors_graph. Default is None, i.e, the hierarchical clustering algorithm is unstructured.  
compute_full_tree‘auto’ or bool, default=’auto’ 

Stop early the construction of the tree at n_clusters. This is useful to decrease computation time if the number of clusters is not small compared to the number of features. This option is useful only when specifying a connectivity matrix. Note also that when varying the number of clusters and using caching, it may be advantageous to compute the full tree. It must be True if distance_threshold is not None. By default compute_full_tree is “auto”, which is equivalent to True when distance_threshold is not None or that n_clusters is inferior to the maximum between 100 or 0.02 * n_samples. Otherwise, “auto” is equivalent to False.  
linkage{‘ward’, ‘complete’, ‘average’, ‘single’}, default=’ward’ 

Which linkage criterion to use. The linkage criterion determines which distance to use between sets of features. The algorithm will merge the pairs of cluster that minimize this criterion.  ward minimizes the variance of the clusters being merged. average uses the average of the distances of each feature of the two sets. complete or maximum linkage uses the maximum distances between all features of the two sets. single uses the minimum of the distances between all observations of the two sets.   
pooling_funccallable, default=np.mean 

This combines the values of agglomerated features into a single value, and should accept an array of shape [M, N] and the keyword argument axis=1, and reduce it to an array of size [M].  
distance_thresholdfloat, default=None 

The linkage distance threshold above which, clusters will not be merged. If not None, n_clusters must be None and compute_full_tree must be True.  New in version 0.21.   
compute_distancesbool, default=False 

Computes distances between clusters even if distance_threshold is not used. This can be used to make dendrogram visualization, but introduces a computational and memory overhead.  New in version 0.24.     Attributes 
 
n_clusters_int 

The number of clusters found by the algorithm. If distance_threshold=None, it will be equal to the given n_clusters.  
labels_array-like of (n_features,) 

cluster labels for each feature.  
n_leaves_int 

Number of leaves in the hierarchical tree.  
n_connected_components_int 

The estimated number of connected components in the graph.  New in version 0.21: n_connected_components_ was added to replace n_components_.   
children_array-like of shape (n_nodes-1, 2) 

The children of each non-leaf node. Values less than n_features correspond to leaves of the tree which are the original samples. A node i greater than or equal to n_features is a non-leaf node and has children children_[i - n_features]. Alternatively at the i-th iteration, children[i][0] and children[i][1] are merged to form node n_features + i  
distances_array-like of shape (n_nodes-1,) 

Distances between nodes in the corresponding place in children_. Only computed if distance_threshold is used or compute_distances is set to True.     Examples >>> import numpy as np
>>> from sklearn import datasets, cluster
>>> digits = datasets.load_digits()
>>> images = digits.images
>>> X = np.reshape(images, (len(images), -1))
>>> agglo = cluster.FeatureAgglomeration(n_clusters=32)
>>> agglo.fit(X)
FeatureAgglomeration(n_clusters=32)
>>> X_reduced = agglo.transform(X)
>>> X_reduced.shape
