class snowflake.ml.modeling.cluster.AffinityPropagation(*, damping=0.5, max_iter=200, convergence_iter=15, copy=True, preference=None, affinity='euclidean', verbose=False, random_state=None, input_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, output_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, label_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, passthrough_cols: Optional[Union[str, Iterable[str]]] = None, drop_input_cols: Optional[bool] = False, sample_weight_col: Optional[str] = None)

Bases: BaseTransformer

Perform Affinity Propagation Clustering of data For more details on this class, see sklearn.cluster.AffinityPropagation

input_cols: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]

A string or list of strings representing column names that contain features. If this parameter is not specified, all columns in the input DataFrame except the columns specified by label_cols, sample_weight_col, and passthrough_cols parameters are considered input columns. Input columns can also be set after initialization with the set_input_cols method.

label_cols: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]

This parameter is optional and will be ignored during fit. It is present here for API consistency by convention.

output_cols: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]

A string or list of strings representing column names that will store the output of predict and transform operations. The length of output_cols must match the expected number of output columns from the specific predictor or transformer class used. If you omit this parameter, output column names are derived by adding an OUTPUT_ prefix to the label column names for supervised estimators, or OUTPUT_<IDX>for unsupervised estimators. These inferred output column names work for predictors, but output_cols must be set explicitly for transformers. In general, explicitly specifying output column names is clearer, especially if you don’t specify the input column names. To transform in place, pass the same names for input_cols and output_cols. be set explicitly for transformers. Output columns can also be set after initialization with the set_output_cols method.

sample_weight_col: Optional[str]

A string representing the column name containing the sample weights. This argument is only required when working with weighted datasets. Sample weight column can also be set after initialization with the set_sample_weight_col method.

passthrough_cols: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]]

A string or a list of strings indicating column names to be excluded from any operations (such as train, transform, or inference). These specified column(s) will remain untouched throughout the process. This option is helpful in scenarios requiring automatic input_cols inference, but need to avoid using specific columns, like index columns, during training or inference. Passthrough columns can also be set after initialization with the set_passthrough_cols method.

drop_input_cols: Optional[bool], default=False

If set, the response of predict(), transform() methods will not contain input columns.

damping: float, default=0.5

Damping factor in the range [0.5, 1.0) is the extent to which the current value is maintained relative to incoming values (weighted 1 - damping). This in order to avoid numerical oscillations when updating these values (messages).

max_iter: int, default=200

Maximum number of iterations.

convergence_iter: int, default=15

Number of iterations with no change in the number of estimated clusters that stops the convergence.

copy: bool, default=True

Make a copy of input data.

preference: array-like of shape (n_samples,) or float, default=None

Preferences for each point - points with larger values of preferences are more likely to be chosen as exemplars. The number of exemplars, ie of clusters, is influenced by the input preferences value. If the preferences are not passed as arguments, they will be set to the median of the input similarities.

affinity: {‘euclidean’, ‘precomputed’}, default=’euclidean’

Which affinity to use. At the moment ‘precomputed’ and euclidean are supported. ‘euclidean’ uses the negative squared euclidean distance between points.

verbose: bool, default=False

Whether to be verbose.

random_state: int, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Pseudo-random number generator to control the starting state. Use an int for reproducible results across function calls. See the Glossary.

Base class for all transformers.
