Changelog

1.1.4 (2023-03-31)

1.1.3 (2023-01-17)

  • [R] mst.default now throws an error if any element in the input matrix is missing/infinite.

  • [Python] Fixed call to mlpack.emst that no longer worked with the new version of mlpack.

1.1.2 (2022-09-17)

  • [Python and R] adjusted_asymmetric_accuracy now accepts confusion matrices with fewer columns than rows. Such “missing” columns are now treated as if they were filled with 0s.

  • [Python and R] pair_sets_index, and normalized_accuracy return the same results for non-symmetric confusion matrices and transposes thereof.

1.1.1 (2022-09-15)

  • [Python] #75: nmslib is now optional.

  • [BUILD TIME]: The use of ssize_t was not portable.

1.1.0 (2022-09-05)

  • [GENERAL] The below-mentioned cluster validity measures are discussed in more detail at https://clustering-benchmarks.gagolewski.com.

  • [Python and R] New function: compare_partitions.adjusted_asymmetric_accuracy.

  • [Python and R] Implementations of the so-called internal cluster validity measures discussed in DOI: 10.1016/j.ins.2021.10.004; see our (GitHub-only) CVI package for R. In particular, the generalised Dunn indices are based on the code originally authored by Maciej Bartoszuk. Thanks.

    Functions added (cluster_validity module): calinski_harabasz_index, dunnowa_index, generalised_dunn_index, negated_ball_hall_index, negated_davies_bouldin_index, negated_wcss_index, silhouette_index, silhouette_w_index, wcnn_index.

  • [BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY] compare_partitions.normalized_confusion_matrix now solves the maximal assignment problem instead of applying a primitive partial pivoting.

  • [Python and R] New function: compare_partitions.normalizing_permutation

  • [R] New function: normalized_confusion_matrix.

  • [Python and R] New parameter to compare_partitions.pair_sets_index: simplified.

  • [Python] New parameters to plots.plot_scatter: axis, title, xlabel, ylabel, xlim, ylim.

1.0.1 (2022-08-08)

  • [GENERAL] A paper on the genieclust package is now available: M. Gagolewski, genieclust: Fast and robust hierarchical clustering, SoftwareX 15, 100722, 2021, DOI: 10.1016/j.softx.2021.100722.

  • [Python] plots.plot_scatter now uses a more accessible default palette (from R 4.0.0).

  • [Python] New function: inequity.devergottini_index.

  • [R] New function: devergottini_index.

1.0.0 (2021-04-22)

  • [R] Use mlpack instead of RcppMLPACK (#72). This package is merely suggested, not dependent upon.

0.9.8 (2021-01-08)

  • [Python] Require Python >= 3.7 (implied by numpy).

  • [Python] Require nmslib.

  • [R] Use RcppMLPACK directly; remove dependency on emstreeR.

  • [R] Use tinytest for unit testing instead of testthat.

0.9.4 (2020-07-31)

  • [BUGFIX] [R] Fix build errors on Solaris.

0.9.3 (2020-07-25)

  • [BUGFIX] [Python] Add code coverage CI. Fix some minor inconsistencies. Automate the bdist build chain.

  • [R] Update DESCRIPTION to meet the CRAN policies.

0.9.2 (2020-07-22)

  • [BUGFIX] [Python] Fix broken build script for OS X with no OpenMP.

0.9.1 (2020-07-18)

  • [GENERAL] The package has been completely rewritten. The core functionality is now implemented in C++ (with OpenMP).

  • [GENERAL] Clustering with respect to HDBSCAN*-like mutual reachability distances is supported.

  • [GENERAL] The parallelised Jarnik-Prim algorithm now supports on-the-fly distance computations. Euclidean minimum spanning tree can be determined with mlpack, which is much faster in low-dimensional spaces.

  • [R] R version is now available.

  • [Python] [Experimental] The GIc algorithm proposed by Anna Cena in her 2018 PhD thesis is added.

  • [Python] Approximate version based on nearest neighbour graphs produced by nmslib is added.

0.1a2 (2018-05-23)

  • [Python] Initial PyPI release.
