These estimators implement +``fit``; clusterers additionally implement ``fit_predict``. + +Clustering +---------- + +- ``KMeans``: Lloyd iterations from random restarts; ``labels_`` holds the + closest-center index, ``cluster_centers_`` the centers, ``inertia_`` the + compactness. Run several ``n_init`` restarts (best inertia wins) and pick + ``n_clusters`` by the elbow in ``inertia_``. +- ``DBSCAN``: groups density-connected points; labels ``-1`` mark noise. + Good when clusters have odd shapes or noise must be isolated — tune + ``eps`` (neighborhood radius) and ``min_samples`` together. +- ``GaussianMixture``: soft assignments via EM over full covariances; + ``predict_proba`` gives responsibilities and ``score`` the mean log + likelihood. Use it when clusters overlap and hard labels mislead. + +.. code-block:: python + + from torml.cluster import KMeans + + km = KMeans(n_clusters=3, random_state=0).fit(X) + km.labels_, km.inertia_ + +Dimensionality reduction and manifolds +-------------------------------------- + +- ``PCA``: full-SVD projection keeping maximum variance; + ``inverse_transform`` reconstructs approximately. ``n_components`` accepts + a count or a variance fraction (e.g. ``0.95``). +- ``MDS``: classical scaling that preserves pairwise distances; accepts a + ``dissimilarity="precomputed"`` distance matrix. + +Density and covariance +---------------------- + +- ``EmpiricalCovariance``: mean, covariance, and precision plus + ``mahalanobis`` distances and a Gaussian ``score`` — the standard tool + for spotting outliers far from the bulk of the data. + +Tips +---- + +- Scale features before distance-based methods (kNN graphs, MDS, DBSCAN): + raw units distort neighborhoods.
