ClusteringEvaluator#

class pyspark.ml.evaluation.ClusteringEvaluator(*, predictionCol='prediction', featuresCol='features', metricName='silhouette', distanceMeasure='squaredEuclidean', weightCol=None)[source]#

Evaluator for Clustering results, which expects two input columns: prediction and features. The metric computes the Silhouette measure using the squared Euclidean distance.

The Silhouette is a measure for the validation of the consistency within clusters. It ranges between 1 and -1, where a value close to 1 means that the points in a cluster are close to the other points in the same cluster and far from the points of the other clusters.

New in version 2.3.0.

Methods

`clear`(param)	Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.
`copy`([extra])	Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params.
`evaluate`(dataset[, params])	Evaluates the output with optional parameters.
`explainParam`(param)	Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.
`explainParams`()	Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.
`extractParamMap`([extra])	Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.
`getDistanceMeasure`()	Gets the value of distanceMeasure
`getFeaturesCol`()	Gets the value of featuresCol or its default value.
`getMetricName`()	Gets the value of metricName or its default value.
`getOrDefault`(param)	Gets the value of a param in the user-supplied param map or its default value.
`getParam`(paramName)	Gets a param by its name.
`getPredictionCol`()	Gets the value of predictionCol or its default value.
`getWeightCol`()	Gets the value of weightCol or its default value.
`hasDefault`(param)	Checks whether a param has a default value.
`hasParam`(paramName)	Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given (string) name.
`isDefined`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user or has a default value.
`isLargerBetter`()	Indicates whether the metric returned by `evaluate()` should be maximized (True, default) or minimized (False).
`isSet`(param)	Checks whether a param is explicitly set by user.
`load`(path)	Reads an ML instance from the input path, a shortcut of read().load(path).
`read`()	Returns an MLReader instance for this class.
`save`(path)	Save this ML instance to the given path, a shortcut of 'write().save(path)'.
`set`(param, value)	Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
`setDistanceMeasure`(value)	Sets the value of `distanceMeasure`.
`setFeaturesCol`(value)	Sets the value of `featuresCol`.
`setMetricName`(value)	Sets the value of `metricName`.
`setParams`(self, \*[, predictionCol, ...])	Sets params for clustering evaluator.
`setPredictionCol`(value)	Sets the value of `predictionCol`.
`setWeightCol`(value)	Sets the value of `weightCol`.
`write`()	Returns an MLWriter instance for this ML instance.

Methods Documentation

clear(param)#: Clears a param from the param map if it has been explicitly set.

copy(extra=None)#

Creates a copy of this instance with the same uid and some extra params. This implementation first calls Params.copy and then make a copy of the companion Java pipeline component with extra params. So both the Python wrapper and the Java pipeline component get copied.

Parameters

extradict, optional: Extra parameters to copy to the new instance

Returns

JavaParams: Copy of this instance

evaluate(dataset, params=None)#

Evaluates the output with optional parameters.

New in version 1.4.0.

Parameters

datasetpyspark.sql.DataFrame: a dataset that contains labels/observations and predictions
paramsdict, optional: an optional param map that overrides embedded params

Returns

float: metric

explainParam(param)#: Explains a single param and returns its name, doc, and optional default value and user-supplied value in a string.

explainParams()#: Returns the documentation of all params with their optionally default values and user-supplied values.

extractParamMap(extra=None)#

Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.

Parameters

extradict, optional: extra param values

Returns

dict: merged param map

getDistanceMeasure()[source]#: Gets the value of distanceMeasure

New in version 2.4.0.

getFeaturesCol()#: Gets the value of featuresCol or its default value.

getMetricName()[source]#: Gets the value of metricName or its default value.

New in version 2.3.0.
