Gaussian Mixture clustering.

This class performs expectation maximization for multivariate Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). A GMM represents a composite distribution of independent Gaussian distributions with associated "mixing" weights specifying each's contribution to the composite.

Given a set of sample points, this class will maximize the log-likelihood for a mixture of k Gaussians, iterating until the log-likelihood changes by less than convergenceTol, or until it has reached the max number of iterations. While this process is generally guaranteed to converge, it is not guaranteed to find a global optimum.

Serialized Form

Note:

This algorithm is limited in its number of features since it requires storing a covariance matrix which has size quadratic in the number of features. Even when the number of features does not exceed this limit, this algorithm may perform poorly on high-dimensional data. This is due to high-dimensional data (a) making it difficult to cluster at all (based on statistical/theoretical arguments) and (b) numerical issues with Gaussian distributions.

transformSchema

public StructType transformSchema(StructType schema)

Description copied from class: PipelineStage

:: DeveloperApi ::

Check transform validity and derive the output schema from the input schema.

We check validity for interactions between parameters during transformSchema and raise an exception if any parameter value is invalid. Parameter value checks which do not depend on other parameters are handled by Param.validate().

Typical implementation should first conduct verification on schema change and parameter validity, including complex parameter interaction checks.

Specified by:

transformSchema in class PipelineStage

Parameters:

schema - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

k

public IntParam k()

Number of independent Gaussians in the mixture model. Must be greater than 1. Default: 2.

Returns:

(undocumented)

getK

public int getK()

validateAndTransformSchema

public StructType validateAndTransformSchema(StructType schema)

Validates and transforms the input schema.

Parameters:

schema - input schema

Returns:

output schema
