在玩具数据集上比较不同的层次链接方法#

此示例显示了在“有趣”但仍在二维的的数据集上进行层次聚类的不同链接方法的特征。

主要观察结果是

单链接速度快，并且可以在非球形数据上表现良好，但在存在噪声的情况下表现不佳。
平均链接和完全链接在干净分离的球形簇上表现良好，但在其他情况下结果好坏参半。
Ward 是处理噪声数据最有效的方法。

虽然这些示例给出了一些关于算法的直觉，但这种直觉可能不适用于非常高维的数据。

生成数据集。我们选择足够大的尺寸来查看算法的可扩展性，但不要太大以避免运行时间过长

n_samples = 1500
noisy_circles = datasets.make_circles(
    n_samples=n_samples, factor=0.5, noise=0.05, random_state=170
)
noisy_moons = datasets.make_moons(n_samples=n_samples, noise=0.05, random_state=170)
blobs = datasets.make_blobs(n_samples=n_samples, random_state=170)
rng = np.random.RandomState(170)
no_structure = rng.rand(n_samples, 2), None

# Anisotropicly distributed data
X, y = datasets.make_blobs(n_samples=n_samples, random_state=170)
transformation = [[0.6, -0.6], [-0.4, 0.8]]
X_aniso = np.dot(X, transformation)
aniso = (X_aniso, y)

# blobs with varied variances
varied = datasets.make_blobs(
    n_samples=n_samples, cluster_std=[1.0, 2.5, 0.5], random_state=170
