使用轮廓分析在KMeans聚类中选择簇的数量#

轮廓分析可用于研究生成的簇之间的分离距离。轮廓图显示了每个点在一个簇中与相邻簇中的点的接近程度的度量，因此提供了一种直观评估诸如簇数量等参数的方法。该度量范围为[-1, 1]。

接近+1的轮廓系数（这些值的名称）表明样本距离相邻簇很远。值为0表示样本位于或非常接近两个相邻簇之间的决策边界，负值表示这些样本可能被分配到了错误的簇中。

在此示例中，轮廓分析用于选择n_clusters的最佳值。轮廓图显示，对于给定的数据，n_clusters值为3、5和6的选择很差，因为存在轮廓分数低于平均值且轮廓图大小波动较大的簇。在2和4之间做出选择时，轮廓分析更为模棱两可。

此外，从轮廓图的厚度也可以看出簇的大小。当n_clusters等于2时，簇0的轮廓图尺寸较大，这是因为将3个子簇分组为一个大簇。然而，当n_clusters等于4时，所有图的厚度或多或少相似，因此大小也相似，这也可以从右侧的带标签散点图中得到验证。

For n_clusters = 2 The average silhouette_score is : 0.7049787496083262
For n_clusters = 3 The average silhouette_score is : 0.5882004012129721
For n_clusters = 4 The average silhouette_score is : 0.6505186632729437
For n_clusters = 5 The average silhouette_score is : 0.561464362648773
For n_clusters = 6 The average silhouette_score is : 0.4857596147013469
