使用轮廓分数提升时间序列聚类的表现-电子发烧友网

我们将使用轮廓分数和一些距离指标来执行时间序列聚类实验，并且进行可视化

让我们看看下面的时间序列:

如果沿着y轴移动序列添加随机噪声，并随机化这些序列，那么它们几乎无法分辨，如下图所示-现在很难将时间序列列分组为簇:

上面的图表是使用以下脚本创建的:

# Import necessary libraries
 import os
 import pandas as pd
 import numpy as np
 
 # Import random module with an alias 'rand'
 import random as rand
 from scipy import signal
 
 # Import the matplotlib library for plotting
 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
 
 # Generate an array 'x' ranging from 0 to 5*pi with a step of 0.1
 x = np.arange(0, 5*np.pi, 0.1)
 
 # Generate square, sawtooth, sin, and cos waves based on 'x'
 y_square = signal.square(np.pi * x)
 y_sawtooth = signal.sawtooth(np.pi * x)
 y_sin = np.sin(x)
 y_cos = np.cos(x)
 
 # Create a DataFrame 'df_waves' to store the waveforms
 df_waves = pd.DataFrame([x, y_sawtooth, y_square, y_sin, y_cos]).transpose()
 
 # Rename the columns of the DataFrame for clarity
 df_waves = df_waves.rename(columns={0: 'time',
                                     1: 'sawtooth',
                                     2: 'square',
                                     3: 'sin',
                                     4: 'cos'})
 
 # Plot the original waveforms against time
 df_waves.plot(x='time', legend=False)
 plt.show()
 
 # Add noise to the waveforms and plot them again
 for col in df_waves.columns:
     if col != 'time':
         for i in range(1, 10):
             # Add noise to each waveform based on 'i' and a random value
             df_waves['{}_{}'.format(col, i)] = df_waves[col].apply(lambda x: x + i + rand.random() * 0.25 * i)
 
 # Plot the waveforms with added noise against time
 df_waves.plot(x='time', legend=False)
 plt.show()

现在我们需要确定聚类的基础。这里有两种方法:

把接近于一组的波形分组——较低欧几里得距离的波形将聚在一起。

把看起来相似的波形分组——它们有相似的形状，但欧几里得距离可能不低

距离度量

一般来说，我们希望根据形状对时间序列进行分组，对于这样的聚类-可能希望使用距离度量，如相关性，这些度量或多或少与波形的线性移位无关。

让我们看看上面定义的带有噪声的波形对之间的欧几里得距离和相关性的热图:

可以看到欧几里得距离对波形进行分组是很困难的，因为任何一组波形对的模式都是相似的。例如，除了对角线元素外，square & cos之间的相关形状与square和square之间的相关形状非常相似

所有的形状都可以很容易地使用相关热图组合在一起——因为类似的波形具有非常高的相关性(sin-sin对)，而像sin和cos这样的波形几乎没有相关性。

轮廓分数

通过上面热图和分析，根据高相关性分配组看起来是一个好主意，但是我们如何定义相关阈值呢？看起来像一个迭代过程，容易出现不准确和大量的人工工作。

在这种情况下，我们可以使用轮廓分数（Silhouette score），它为执行的聚类分配一个分数。我们的目标是使轮廓分数最大化。

轮廓分数（Silhouette Score）是一种用于评估聚类质量的指标，它可以帮助你确定数据点是否被正确地分配到它们的簇中。较高的轮廓分数表示簇内数据点相互之间更加相似，而不同簇之间的数据点差异更大，这通常是良好的聚类结果。

轮廓分数的计算方法如下：

对于每个数据点 i，计算以下两个值：- a(i)：数据点 i 到同一簇中所有其他点的平均距离（簇内平均距离）。- b(i)：数据点 i 到与其不同簇中的所有簇的平均距离，取最小值（最近簇的平均距离）。
然后，计算每个数据点的轮廓系数 s(i)，它定义为：s(i) = frac{b(i) - a(i)}{max{a(i), b(i)}}
最后，计算整个数据集的轮廓分数，它是所有数据点的轮廓系数的平均值：text{轮廓分数} = frac{1}{N} sum_{i=1}^{N} s(i)

其中，N 是数据点的总数。

轮廓分数的取值范围在 -1 到 1 之间，具体含义如下：

轮廓分数接近1：表示簇内数据点相似度高，不同簇之间的差异很大，是一个好的聚类结果。
轮廓分数接近0：表示数据点在簇内的相似度与簇间的差异相当，可能是重叠的聚类或者不明显的聚类。
轮廓分数接近-1：表示数据点更适合分配到其他簇，不同簇之间的差异相比簇内差异更小，通常是一个糟糕的聚类结果。

一些重要的知识点:

在所有点上的高平均轮廓分数(接近1)表明簇的定义良好且明显。

低或负的平均轮廓分数(接近-1)表明重叠或形成不良的集群。

0左右的分数表示该点位于两个簇的边界上。

聚类

现在让我们尝试对时间序列进行分组。我们已经知道存在四种不同的波形，因此理想情况下应该有四个簇。

     ax2.scatter(df_fc_cleaned_reduced_euc.transpose().iloc[:, 0], df_fc_cleaned_reduced_euc.transpose().iloc[:, 1],
                 marker=".", s=30, lw=0, alpha=0.7, c=colors, edgecolor="k")
 
     # Label the clusters and cluster centers
     centers = clusterer.cluster_centers_
     ax2.scatter(centers[:, 0], centers[:, 1], marker="o", c="white", alpha=1, s=200, edgecolor="k")
 
     for i, c in enumerate(centers):
         ax2.scatter(c[0], c[1], marker="$%d$" % i, alpha=1, s=50, edgecolor="k")
 
     # Set labels and title for the cluster visualization
     ax2.set_title("The visualization of the clustered data.")

     # Set the super title for the whole plot
     plt.suptitle("Silhouette analysis for KMeans clustering on sample data with n_clusters = %d" % n_clusters,
                  fontsize=14, fontweight="bold")
 
 plt.savefig('sil_score_eucl.png')
 plt.show()

可以看到无论分成多少簇，数据都是混合的，并不能为任何数量的簇提供良好的轮廓分数。这与我们基于欧几里得距离热图的初步评估的预期一致
