Load the dataset#

We will start by loading the iris dataset.

 from sklearn.cluster import KMeans
 from sklearn.datasets import (
     load_iris as data_3_classes,
 )
 from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

 import numpy as np

 np.random.seed(0)  # reproducibility
 # importing pylab or pyplot
 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

 # Import scikit-plot
 import scikitplot as sp

Loading the dataset#

 # Load the data
 X, y = data_3_classes(return_X_y=True, as_frame=False)
 X_train, X_val, y_train, y_val = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.5, random_state=0)

Model Training#

Create an instance of the LogisticRegression

 model = KMeans(n_clusters=4, random_state=1)

Visualize the results#

Plot!

 ax = sp.estimators.plot_elbow(
     model,
     X_train,
     cluster_ranges=range(1, 11),
     save_fig=True,
     save_fig_filename="",
     # overwrite=True,
     add_timestamp=True,
     # verbose=True,
 )
