RMSSTD

Root Mean Squared Standard Deviation.

This is the square root of the pooled sample variance of all the attributes, which measures only the compactness of found clusters.

Attributes

  • bigger_is_better

    Indicates if a high value is better than a low one or not.

Examples

>>> from river import cluster
>>> from river import stream
>>> from river import metrics

>>> X = [
...     [1, 2],
...     [1, 4],
...     [1, 0],
...     [4, 2],
...     [4, 4],
...     [4, 0],
...     [-2, 2],
...     [-2, 4],
...     [-2, 0]
... ]

>>> k_means = cluster.KMeans(n_clusters=3, halflife=0.4, sigma=3, seed=0)
>>> metric = metrics.cluster.RMSSTD()

>>> for x, _ in stream.iter_array(X):
...     k_means = k_means.learn_one(x)
...     y_pred = k_means.predict_one(x)
...     metric = metric.update(x, y_pred, k_means.centers)

>>> metric
RMSSTD: 1.623486
