A Python library implementing the k-modes and k-prototypes clustering algorithms for categorical and mixed numerical/categorical data. It follows the scikit-learn API and relies on numpy for performance.
Use cases
- cluster categorical survey responses
- group customers by categorical attributes
- cluster mixed numeric and categorical data
- segment data without one-hot encoding
- apply k-modes clustering in a scikit-learn pipeline
When to choose
- your dataset is mostly or entirely categorical features
- you want a scikit-learn-compatible clustering API
- you need k-prototypes for mixed data types
When to avoid
- your data is purely numerical and k-means suffices
- you need very large-scale distributed clustering
