我可以使用 MCA 的结果使用 K-means、DBScan 或 GMM 进行聚类吗？

Question

我正在解决一个问题，我将所有变量都作为分类变量并应用了 MCA。当我将 MCA 结果与通过 K 模式（独立于 MCA 应用）获得的集群结合起来可视化时，集群相互重叠。我想知道我应该简单地获取 MCA 组件并在这些组件上应用 K-means 或其他聚类算法，而不是应用 k 模式。这有意义吗？

Answer 1

我认为 K-Means 不允许重叠。样本结果分配给最近的集群，但不是全部，因此没有重叠。查看下面的代码示例。

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.spatial import Voronoi

def voronoi_finite_polygons_2d(vor, radius=None):
    """
    Reconstruct infinite voronoi regions in a 2D diagram to finite
    regions.

    Parameters
    ----------
    vor : Voronoi
        Input diagram
    radius : float, optional
        Distance to 'points at infinity'.

    Returns
    -------
    regions : list of tuples
        Indices of vertices in each revised Voronoi regions.
    vertices : list of tuples
        Coordinates for revised Voronoi vertices. Same as coordinates
        of input vertices, with 'points at infinity' appended to the
        end.

    if vor.points.shape[1] != 2:
        raise ValueError("Requires 2D input")

    new_regions = []
    new_vertices = vor.vertices.tolist()

    center = vor.points.mean(axis=0)
    if radius is None:
        radius = vor.points.ptp().max()*2

    # Construct a map containing all ridges for a given point

    for (p1, p2), (v1, v2) in zip(vor.ridge_points, vor.ridge_vertices):

我认为一些聚类算法实际上确实允许重叠。使用 Google 搜索，您会找到所需的内容。
