<div dir="ltr">I use Birch to cluster my data and my data is kind of time-series data.<div><br></div><div>I don't know the actually cluster numbers and need to read large data(online learning), so I choose Birch rather than MiniKmeans.</div><div><br></div><div>When I read it, I found the critical parameters might be branching_factor and threshold, and threshold will affect my cluster numbers obviously!</div><div><br></div><div>Any way to estimate the suitable threshold of Birch? Any paper suggestion is ok.</div><div><br></div><div>thx</div></div>
