A comprehensive clustering module for the SciRS2 scientific computing library in Rust (v0.1.0). Following the [SciRS2 POLICY](../SCIRS2_POLICY.md), this crate provides production-ready implementations of various clustering algorithms with a focus on performance, SciPy compatibility, ecosystem consistency, and idiomatic Rust code.

- **Extensive documentation** with working examples for all features
- **Performance optimizations** including SIMD and parallel processing

## Stability & Performance

### Algorithm Maturity
- **Core algorithms** (K-means, Hierarchical, DBSCAN) are thoroughly tested and production-ready
- **Advanced algorithms** (Spectral, BIRCH, GMM, HDBSCAN) are fully implemented with comprehensive test coverage
- **All APIs are stable** and maintain backward compatibility with SciPy interfaces

### Performance Characteristics
- **Optimized Ward's method**: O(n² log n) complexity vs standard O(n³)

## Installation

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
scirs2-cluster = "0.1.2"
ndarray = "0.15"
```

To enable optimizations through the core module, add feature flags:

```toml
[dependencies]
scirs2-cluster = { version = "0.1.2", features = ["parallel", "simd"] }
```

## Usage

### K-means Example

```rust
use ndarray::Array2;
use scirs2_cluster::vq::{kmeans, KMeansOptions, KMeansInit};

// Create a dataset
let data = Array2::from_shape_vec((6, 2), vec![
    1.0, 2.0,
    1.2, 1.8,
    0.8, 1.9,
    3.7, 4.2,
    3.9, 3.9,
    4.2, 4.1,
]).unwrap();

// Configure K-means
let options = KMeansOptions {
    init_method: KMeansInit::KMeansPlusPlus,
    max_iter: 300,
    ..Default::default()
};

// Run k-means with k=2
let (centroids, labels) = kmeans(data.view(), 2, Some(options)).unwrap();

println!("Centroids: {:?}", centroids);
println!("Cluster assignments: {:?}", labels);
```

### kmeans2 (SciPy-compatible)

```rust
use scirs2_cluster::vq::{kmeans2, MinitMethod, MissingMethod, whiten};

// Whiten the data for better clustering
let whitened_data = whiten(&data).unwrap();

// Run kmeans2 with different initialization methods
let (centroids, labels) = kmeans2(
    whitened_data.view(),
    3,                             // k clusters
    Some(10),                      // iterations
    Some(1e-4),                    // threshold
    Some(MinitMethod::PlusPlus),   // K-means++ initialization
    Some(MissingMethod::Warn),     // warn on empty clusters
    Some(true),                    // check finite values
    Some(42),                      // random seed
).unwrap();
```

### Mini-batch K-means

```rust
use scirs2_cluster::vq::{minibatch_kmeans, MiniBatchKMeansOptions};

// Configure mini-batch K-means
let options = MiniBatchKMeansOptions {
    batch_size: 1024,
    max_iter: 100,
    ..Default::default()
};

// Run clustering on large dataset
let (centroids, labels) = minibatch_kmeans(large_data.view(), 5, Some(options)).unwrap();
```

### Hierarchical Clustering Example

```rust
use ndarray::Array2;
use scirs2_cluster::hierarchy::{linkage, fcluster, LinkageMethod};

// Create a dataset
let data = Array2::from_shape_vec((6, 2), vec![
    1.0, 2.0,
    1.2, 1.8,
    0.8, 1.9,
    3.7, 4.2,
    3.9, 3.9,
    4.2, 4.1,
]).unwrap();

// Calculate linkage matrix using Ward's method
let linkage_matrix = linkage(data.view(), LinkageMethod::Ward, None).unwrap();

// Form flat clusters by cutting the dendrogram
let num_clusters = 2;
let labels = fcluster(&linkage_matrix, num_clusters, None).unwrap();

println!("Cluster assignments: {:?}", labels);
```

### Evaluation Metrics

```rust
use scirs2_cluster::metrics::{silhouette_score, davies_bouldin_score, calinski_harabasz_score};

// Evaluate clustering quality
let silhouette = silhouette_score(data.view(), labels.view()).unwrap();
let db_score = davies_bouldin_score(data.view(), labels.view()).unwrap();
let ch_score = calinski_harabasz_score(data.view(), labels.view()).unwrap();

println!("Silhouette score: {}", silhouette);
println!("Davies-Bouldin score: {}", db_score);
println!("Calinski-Harabasz score: {}", ch_score);
```

### DBSCAN Example

```rust
use ndarray::Array2;
use scirs2_cluster::density::{dbscan, labels};

// Create a dataset with clusters and noise
let data = Array2::from_shape_vec((8, 2), vec![
    1.0, 2.0,   // Cluster 1
    1.5, 1.8,   // Cluster 1
    1.3, 1.9,   // Cluster 1
    5.0, 7.0,   // Cluster 2
    5.1, 6.8,   // Cluster 2
    5.2, 7.1,   // Cluster 2
    0.0, 10.0,  // Noise
    10.0, 0.0,  // Noise
]).unwrap();

// Run DBSCAN with eps=0.8 and min_samples=2
let cluster_labels = dbscan(data.view(), 0.8, 2, None).unwrap();

// Count noise points
let noise_count = cluster_labels.iter().filter(|&&label| label == labels::NOISE).count();

println!("Cluster assignments: {:?}", cluster_labels);
println!("Number of noise points: {}", noise_count);
```
