Package 'ProjectionBasedClustering'

Title: Projection Based Clustering
Description: A clustering approach applicable to every projection method is proposed here. The two-dimensional scatter plot of any projection method can construct a topographic map which displays unapparent data structures by using distance and density information of the data. The generalized U*-matrix renders this visualization in the form of a topographic map, which can be used to automatically define the clusters of high-dimensional data. The whole system is based on Thrun and Ultsch, "Using Projection based Clustering to Find Distance and Density based Clusters in High-Dimensional Data" <DOI:10.1007/s00357-020-09373-2>. Selecting the correct projection method will result in a visualization in which mountains surround each cluster. The number of clusters can be determined by counting valleys on the topographic map. Most projection methods are wrappers for already available methods in R. By contrast, the neighbor retrieval visualizer (NeRV) is based on C++ source code of the 'dredviz' software package, and the Curvilinear Component Analysis (CCA) is translated from 'MATLAB' ('SOM Toolbox' 2.0) to R.

Projection Based Clustering

Description

The package is based on a conference talk [Thrun/Ultsch, 2017], see <DOI:10.13140/RG.2.2.13124.53124>. and [Thrun/Ultsch, 2020]. The abstract of the conference talk is as follows:

Many data mining methods rely on some concept of the dissimilarity between pieces of information encoded in the data of interest. These methods can be used for cluster analysis. However, no generally accepted definition of clusters exists in the literature [Hennig et al., 2015]. Here, consistent with Bouveyron et al., it is assumed that a cluster is a group of similar objects [Bouveyron et al., 2012]. The clusters are called natural because they do not require a dissection; instead, they are clearly separated in the data [Duda et al., 2001, Theodoridis/Koutroumbas, 2009, pp. 579, 600]. These clusters can be identified by distance or density based high-dimensional structures. Dimensionality reduction techniques are able to reduce the dimensions of the input space to facilitate the exploration of structures in high-dimensional data. If they are used for visualization, they are called projection methods. The generalized U*-matrix technique is applicable for these and can be used to visualize both distance- and density-based structures [Thrun 2018; Ultsch/Thrun, 2017]. The idea that the abstract U*-matrix (AU-matrix) can be used for clustering [Ultsch et al., 2016]. The distances required for hierarchical clustering are defined by the AU-matrix [Lötsch/Ultsch, 2014]. Using this distance we propose a clustering approach for every projection method based on the U*-matrix visualization of a topographic map [Thrun 2018; Thrun/Ultsch, 2017]. The number of clusters and the cluster structure can be estimated by counting the valleys in a topographic map [Thrun et al., 2016]. If the number of clusters and the clustering method are chosen correctly, then the clusters will be well separated by mountains in the visualization. Outliers are represented as volcanoes and can be interactively marked in the visualization after the automated clustering process.

Details

A comparison to 32 common clustering algorithms is provided in [Thrun/Ultsch, 2020].

Note

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

Additionally you can use the standard ShepardScatterPlot or the better approach through the ShepardDensityPlot of the CRAN package DataVisualizations.

Interactive Projection-Based Clustering (IPBC)

Description

An interactive clustering tool published in [Thrun et al., 2020] that uses the topographic map visualizations of the generalized U-matrix and a variety of different projection methods. This function receives a dataset and starts a shiny interface where one is able to choose a projection method and generate a plot.ly visualization of the topograhpic map [Thrun et al., 2016] of the generalized U-matrix [Ultsch/Thrun, 2017] combined with projected points. It includes capabilities for interactive clustering within the interface as well as automatic projection-based clustering based on [Thrun/Ultsch, 2020].

Usage

interactiveProjectionBasedClustering(Data, Cls=NULL)
  
  IPBC(Data, Cls=NULL)

Arguments

Data

The dataset [1:n,1:d] of n cases and d vriables with which the U-matrix and the projection will be calculated. Please see also the note below.

Cls

Optional: Prior Classification of the data for the [1:n] cases of k classes.

Details

To cluster data interactively, i.e., select specific data points and create a cluster), first generate the visualization. Thereafter, switch in the menu to clustering, hold the left mouse button and then frame a valley. Simple mouse clicks will not start the lasso functionality of plotly.

The resulting clustering is stored in Cls which is a numerical vector of the length n (number of cases) with the integer elements of numbers from 1 to k if k is the number of groups in the data. Each element of Cls as an unambigous mapping to a case of Data indicating by the rownames of Data. If Data has no rownames a vector from 1:n is generated and then Cls is named by it.

Value

Returns a List of:

Cls

[1:n] numerical vector of the clustering of the dataset for then cases of k clusters

Umatrix

[1:Lines,1:Columns] generalized Umatrix to be plotted, numerical matrix storing the U-heights, see [Thrun, 2018] for definition.

Bestmatches

[1:n,2] Matrix of GridConverted Projected Points [1:n, 1:2] called Bestmatches that defines positions for n datapoints, first columns is the position in Lines and second column in Columns

LastProjectionMethodUsed

name of last projection method that was used as a string

TopView_TopographicMap

The final plot generated by plot.ly when closing the tool

Note

Some dimensionality reduction methods will assume data without missing values, some other DR methods assume unique data points, i.e., no distance=0 for any two cases(rows) of data. In these cases the IPBC method will crash.

Isomap

Description

Isomap procetion as introduced in 2000 by Tenenbaum, de Silva and Langford

Even with a manifold structure, the sampling must be even and dense so that dissimilarities along a manifold are shorter than across the folds. If data do not have such a manifold structure, the results are very sensitive to parameter values.

Arguments

Distances

Symmetric [1:n,1:n] distance matrix, e.g. as.matrix(dist(Data,method))

k

number of k nearest neighbors, if the data is fragmented choose an higher k

OutputDimension

Number of dimensions in the output space, default = 2

PlotIt

Default: FALSE, If TRUE: Plots the projection as a 2d visualization. If OutputDimension > 2 only the first two dimensions will be shown.

Cls

Optional and only relevant if PlotIt=TRUE. Numeric vector, given Classification in numbers: every element is the cluster number of a certain corresponding element of data.

Details

An short overview of different types of projection methods can be found in [Thrun, 2018, p.42, Fig. 4.1] (doi:10.1007/978-3-658-20540-9).

Automatic Projection-based Clustering (PBC) [Thrun/Ultsch, 2020]

Description

Three steps are necessary for PBC. First, a projection method has to be chosen to generate projected points of high-dimensional data points. Second, the generalized U*-matrix has to be applied to the projected points by using a simplified emergent self-organizing map (ESOM) algorithm which is an unsupervised neural network [Thrun, 2018]. The resulting generalized U-matrix can be visualized by the topographic map [Thrun et al., 2016]. Third, the clustering itself is built on top of the generalized U-matrix using the concept of the abstract U-Matrix and shortest graph paths using ShortestGraphPathsC.

Usage

ProjectionBasedClustering(k, DataOrDistances, BestMatches, LC,

StructureType = TRUE, PlotIt = FALSE, method = "euclidean")

Arguments

k

number of clusters, how many to you see in the 3d landscape?

DataOrDistances

Numerical matrix that will be used for clustering with one DataPoint per row, defined as either as

Data, i.e., [1:n,1:d], nonsymmetric, and consists of n cases of d-dimensional data points with every case having d attributes, variables or features,

or

Distances, i.e.,[1:n,1:n], symmetric and consists of n cases, e.g., as.matrix(dist(Data,method))

BestMatches

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

LC

grid size c(Lines,Columns)

StructureType

Optional, bool; =TRUE: compact structure of clusters assumed, =FALSE: connected structure of clusters assumed. For the two options vor Clusters, see [Thrun, 2017] or Handl et al. 2006

PlotIt

Optional, bool, Plots Dendrogramm

method

Optional, distance method used in parallelDist if Data given.

Details

ProjectionBasedClustering is a flexible and robust clustering framework based on a chose projection method and projection method a parameter-free high-dimensional data visualization technique. The visualization combines projected points with a topographic map with hypsometric colors, defined by the generalized U-matrix (see package GeneralizedUmatrix function GeneralizedUmatrix).

The clustering method with no sensitive parameters is done in this function and the algorithm is introduced in detail in [Thrun/Ultsch, 2020]. The clustering can be verified by the visualization and vice versa. If you want to verifiy your clustering result externally, you can use Heatmap or SilhouettePlot of the CRAN package DataVisualizations.

If parallelDist is not installed, function automatically falls back to dist.

Value

Cls [1:n] vector with selected classes of the bestmatches. You can use plotTopographicMap(Umatrix,Bestmatches,Cls) for verification.

Note

Often it is better to mark the outliers manually after the prozess of clustering; 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 interactiveClustering function.
