Computational tools for processing and analysis on hypersphere

von-mises-fischer-clustering functions :

vonmisesGenerate.py This module contains all the functions that are used to sample from the VMF distribution.

sphericalclustering.py This module clusters the data using the VMF distribution.

  • clust: Returns the cluster labels and exracted raw data

    This function extracts data from file whose path is the parameter to the function.Samples from von mises-fisher distribution with each row in the data set to be the mean vector and clusters the data using Spherical Kmeans clustering

    The given function ''clust'' must have the following signature::

      output = clust(params) where, 
  
  fpath = ['.../data.npz']
  par2 = [no_clusters]
  params = zip(fpath, par2)
  
  where params is file address and no_of clusters zipped

    Dependencies:: The function requires the below mentioned libraries to be installed 1. Numpy 2. Mpmath

      The function requires the module ''vonmisesGenerate.py'' and 
  ''sphericalclustering.py'' to be in Path

  • clustplot: Plots the clusters in 3D

    This function creates two plots one displaying the clusters and another a 3D plot displaying the first 3 dimensions of the extarcted data with markers colored based on clustering

    The given function ''clustplot'' must have the following signature::

      clustplot(clusters,data)

    Dependencies: The function requires the below mentioned libraries to be installed 1. Matplotlib 2. mpl_toolkits 3. itertools

  • randVMF:

    This function generates samples from the Von Mises Fisher Distribution The inputs are: N=Number of samples mu=Mean of the VMF distrivution. It should always be 1 k=Kappa parameter The output is N x dimension(mu) matrix of samples generated from VMF distribution.

  • randVMFMeanDir:

    This function generates random samples from VMF distribution using rejection sampling. The inputs are: N=Number of samples k=Kappa parameter
    p=Dimension of VMF distribution The output is N x 1 vector of random samples from VMF tangent distribution

  • VMFMeanDirDensity:

    This function is the tangent direction density of VMF distribution. The inputs are: x=Tangent value between [-1 1] k=kappa parameter p=Dimension of the VMF distribution The output is y=density of the VMF tangent density

  • randUniformSphere:

    This function generate the random samples uniformly on a d-dimensional sphere The inputs are : N=Number of samples p=Dimension of the VMF distribution The output is N x d dim matrix which are the N random samples generated on the unit p-dimensional sphere

  • nullspace:

    This function generates the null space of a matrix The source from where it is taken is:
