mlr3cluster

Cluster analysis for mlr3

mlr3cluster is an extension package for cluster analysis within the mlr3 ecosystem. It is a successor of clustering capabilities of mlr2.

Installation

Install the development version from GitHub:

devtools::install_github("mlr-org/mlr3cluster")

Feature Overview

The current version of mlr3cluster contains:

A selection of 9 clustering learners that represent a wide variety of clusterers: partitional, hierarchical, fuzzy, etc.
A selection of 4 performance measures
One built-in task to get started with clustering

Also, the package is integrated with mlr3viz which enables you to create great visualizations with just one line of code!

Example

library(mlr3)
library(mlr3cluster)

task = mlr_tasks$get("usarrests")
learner = mlr_learners$get("clust.kmeans")
learner$train(task)
preds = learner$predict(task = task)

Check out the blogpost for a more detailed introduction to the package. Also, mlr3book section on clustering is coming soon!

Future Plans

Add more learners and measures
Integrate the package with mlr3pipelines (work in progress)
