How to use TSNE library method to initialise library.

 To use t-SNE (t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) to reduce dimensionality from 10 to 2 using the scikit-learn library in Python, you would initialize the TSNE class as follows:

from sklearn.manifold import TSNE

# Initialize t-SNE

tsne = TSNE(n_components=2, perplexity=30, random_state=42)


Explanation of the parameters:

n_components=2: This is the most important parameter for your requirement. It specifies that you want to reduce the dimensionality to 2 dimensions.

perplexity=30: This parameter controls the balance between local and global aspects of your data. The typical range is between 5 and 50. It is a good starting point to use 30. You may need to experiment with different values depending on your dataset.

random_state=42: This parameter sets the seed for the random number generator. Setting a random state ensures that you get reproducible results. You can use any integer value.


Complete Example:

from sklearn.manifold import TSNE

import numpy as np


# Sample 10-dimensional data (replace with your actual data)

data_10d = np.random.rand(100, 10)  # 100 samples, 10 features


# Initialize t-SNE

tsne = TSNE(n_components=2, perplexity=30, random_state=42)


# Reduce dimensionality

data_2d = tsne.fit_transform(data_10d)


# Now 'data_2d' contains the 2-dimensional representation of your data

print(data_2d.shape)  # Should output (100, 2)


Important Notes:

t-SNE is computationally expensive, especially for large datasets.

The perplexity parameter can significantly affect the visualization. Experiment with different values to find the one that best reveals the structure of your data.

t-SNE is used for visualization, and not recommended for other machine learning tasks.
