k 均值初始化影响的经验评估#

评估 k 均值初始化策略使算法收敛稳健的能力，通过聚类惯性的相对标准差来衡量（即到最近聚类中心的平方距离之和）。

第一个图显示了模型（KMeans 或 MiniBatchKMeans）和 init 方法（init="random" 或 init="k-means++"）的每种组合在 n_init 参数（控制初始化次数）值增加时的最佳惯性。

第二个图演示了 MiniBatchKMeans 估计器使用 init="random" 和 n_init=1 的一次运行。此运行会导致不良收敛（局部最优），估计的中心卡在真实聚类之间。

用于评估的数据集是广泛间隔的各向同性高斯聚类的二维网格。
