Yellowbrick Clustering Visualizers can be used with KModes and KPrototype?

[compa...@gmail.com]

I have seen examples in the documentation where Yellowbrick Clustering Visualizers are used with KMeans clustering method. 

It is correct to use them also with KModes and KPrototype clustering algorithms, for clustering category and mixed type data (https://github.com/nicodv/kmodes)?

Hi,

Yellowbrick clustering visualizers currently work with centroidal clusterers. You can read more details here: http://www.scikit-yb.org/en/develop/api/cluster/index.html#clustering-visualizers.
It looks like KModes and KPrototype are not part of core scikit-learn, but if they implement the scikit-learn estimator interface (which they appear to do) there's a good chance they'll work with Yellowbrick. Maybe you can try it and see if it works . We would be interested in what you find out.

Cheers
Larry

Hi,

Do you have any news regarding the usage of Yellowbrick with KPrototype ?
