""" ================================= Compare BIRCH and MiniBatchKMeans ================================= This example compares the timing of BIRCH (with and without the global clustering step) and MiniBatchKMeans on a synthetic dataset having 25,000 samples and 2 features generated using make_blobs. Both ``MiniBatchKMeans`` and ``BIRCH`` are very scalable algorithms and could run efficiently on hundreds of thousands or even millions of datapoints. We chose to limit the dataset size of this example in the interest of keeping our Continuous Integration resource usage reasonable but the interested reader might enjoy editing this script to rerun it with a larger value for `n_samples`. If ``n_clusters`` is set to None, the data is reduced from 25,000 samples to a set of 158 clusters. This can be viewed as a preprocessing step before the final (global) clustering step that further reduces these 158 clusters to 100 clusters.
