Multisignals 1-D clustering

    Syntax

    s = mdwtcluster(x)
    s = mdwtcluster(___,Name,Value)

    Description

    s = mdwtcluster(x) clusters data using hierarchical clustering. The input matrix x is decomposed in the row direction using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with the Haar wavelet and the maximum allowed level fix(log2(size(x,2))).

    Note

    mdwtcluster requires Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™.

    s = mdwtcluster(___,Name,Value) specifies options using name-value pair arguments in addition to the input argument in the previous syntax. For example, 'level',4 specifies the decomposition level.

    Examples

    Open Live Script

    Load the 1-D multisignal elecsig10.

    load elecsig10

    Compute the structure resulting from multisignal clustering.

    lst2clu = {'s','ca1','ca3','ca6'};
S = mdwtcluster(signals,'maxclust',4,'lst2clu',lst2clu)
    S = struct with fields:
    IdxCLU: [70x4 double]
    Incons: [69x4 double]
      Corr: [0.7920 0.7926 0.7947 0.7631]

    Retrieve the cluster indices.

    IdxCLU = S.IdxCLU;

    Plot the first and third clusters.

    plot(signals(IdxCLU(:,1)==1,:)','r')
hold on
plot(signals(IdxCLU(:,1)==3,:)','b')
hold off
title('Cluster 1 (Signal) and Cluster 3 (Coefficients)')

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Cluster 1 (Signal) and Cluster 3 (Coefficients) contains 29 objects of type line.

    Check the equality of partitions. Confirm we obtain the same partitions using coefficients of approximation at level 3 instead of the original signals. Much less information is then used.

    equalPART = isequal(IdxCLU(:,1),IdxCLU(:,3))

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Input data, specified as a matrix.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    Name-Value Arguments

    Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

    Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

    Example: s = mdwtcluster(signals,'maxclust',4,'wname','db4') specifies four clusters and the wavelet db4.

    Direction of decomposition, specified as 'r' (row) or 'c' (column).

    Level of DWT decomposition, specified as a positive integer. The default value is fix(log2(size(x,d))), where d=1 or d=2, depending on the dirDec value.

    Wavelet used for the DWT, specified as a character vector or string scalar. The default value is the Haar wavelet, 'haar'.

    DWT extension mode, specified as a character vector or string scalar. See dwtmode.

    Distance metric, specified as a character vector, string scalar, or function handle. The default value is 'euclidean'. See pdist (Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox).

    Algorithm for computing the distance between clusters, specified as one of the values in this table.

    MethodDescription
    'average'

    Unweighted average distance (UPGMA)

    'centroid'

    Centroid distance (UPGMC), appropriate for Euclidean distances only

    'complete'

    Farthest distance

    'median'

    Weighted center of mass distance (WPGMC), appropriate for Euclidean distances only

    'single'

    Shortest distance

    'ward'

    Inner squared distance (minimum variance algorithm), appropriate for Euclidean distances only

    'weighted'

    Weighted average distance (WPGMA)

    See linkage (Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox).

    Number of clusters, specified as an integer or vector.

    Cell array of character vectors or string vector which contains the list of data to classify. If N is the level of decomposition, the allowed name values for the cells are:

    • 's' — Signal

    • 'aj' — Approximation at level j

    • 'dj' — Detail at level j

    • 'caj' — Coefficients of approximation at level j

    • 'cdj' — Coefficients of detail at level j

    with j = 1, …, N.

    The default value is {'s';'ca1';...;'caN'} or ["s" "cal" ... "caN"].

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    The output structure s is such that for each partition j:

    S.Idx(:,j)

    Contains the cluster numbers obtained from the hierarchical cluster tree. See cluster (Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox).

    S.Incons(:,j)

    Contains the inconsistent values of each non-leaf node in the hierarchical cluster tree. See inconsistent (Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox).

    S.Corr(j)

    Contains the cophenetic correlation coefficients of the partition. See cophenet (Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox).

    Note

    If maxclust is a vector, then IdxCLU is a multidimensional array such that IdxCLU(:,j,k) contains the cluster numbers obtained from the hierarchical cluster tree for k clusters.
