UNIVERSITY OF EXETER

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS, AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES

ECM3420/ECMM445

Learning from Data

Continuous Assessment

Date set: 14th November 2019

Hand-in date: 4th December 2019

This CA comprises 20% of the overall module assessment for the level 3 students and 10 % for the

M-Level students .

This is an individual exercise, and your attention is drawn to the guidelines on collaboration and

plagiarism in the College handbook.

See ELE for detailed submission instructions. This assignment requires you to make an electronic

submission using the Electronic Coursework Submission System (empslocal.ex.ac.uk/

cgi-bin/submit/prepare). The electronic submission should consist of a single Jupyter Notebook

(.ipynb) file containing the program code you are asked to produce and their outputs;

The questions are overleaf.

What you should submit

? A Jupyter Notebook file (.ipynb) containing the code and outputs for all questions.

1 Preamble

In this coursework you will have to implement a basic clustering analysis framework from scratch

(i.e., without using the Scikit-learn implementations) including both the algorithm and the validation

functions.

1. For this coursework you should not use the sklearn or mlxtend packages;

2. You can use other libraries such as pandas, numpy, scipy, and matplotlib ;

3. This coursework comprises 6 (six) work pieces WP.

2 Work specification

You will have to implement the three algorithms below:

(WP1) [25 marks] The k-means algorithm with the Euclidean distance

(WP2) [15 marks] The Davies-Bouldin index

(WP3) [15 marks] Silhouette score

Additionally, using your implementations, you will have to perform the analyses described

below on the provided data files: iris.txt, wine.txt and cluster_validation_data.txt:

(WP4) [15 marks] Perform model selection for selecting the partition order k generating a plot like

the one shown in Figure 1 using your implementation of the Davies-Bouldin index and analyze

the results commenting on: (1) the best number of partitions k for all the three datasets

and (2) For the wine and iris data, how well did your clustering algorithm performed compared

to the ground-truth known classes?

(WP5) [10 marks] Modify the function plot_silhouette provided in the lfd_utils.py file to use

your kmeans and silhouette_scores functions and generate a plot similar to Figure 2 for

each value of k (from 2 to max_k)

0.1 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0

Silhouette analysis for KMeans clustering on sample data with n_clusters = 2 Figure 2: Example of a Silhouette plot for k = 2

(WP6) [20 marks] Perform model selection for selecting the partition order k using the silhouette

plots for k from 2 to 6 commenting on: (1) how to interpret the silhouette scores for each

value of k taking into account the width of the partitions and how they compare with the

average silhouette score, (2) what would be the best number of partitions k for all the

three datasets and (3) For the wine and iris data, for the best k you found, how well did

your clustering algorithm performed compared to the ground-truth known classes?

3 Functions definitions

Your implementations for the k-means and silhouette score functions should have the following

signatures

? kmeans(x,k,max_itr=100)

– Parameters:

*

x: the data do be clustered

*

k: the number of clusters

*

max_itr: the maximum number of iterations

– Returns:

*

cluster_labels: the cluster membership labels for each element in the data x

? silhouette_scores(x, cluster_labels)

– Parameters:

*

x: the data

*

cluster_labels: the cluster membership vector produced by the k-means algorithm.

– Returns:

*

scores: a vector containing the silhouette score for each data sample in x.
