SaturnCoefficient

Statistical Evaluation of UMAP Dimensionality Reductions

v1.6 · Feb 10, 2026 · GPL-3

Description

A metric expressing the quality of a UMAP layout. This is a package that contains the Saturn_coefficient() function that reads an input matrix, its dimensionality reduction produced by UMAP, and evaluates the quality of this dimensionality reduction by producing a real value in the [0; 1] interval. We call this real value Saturn coefficient. A higher value means better dimensionality reduction; a lower value means worse dimensionality reduction. Reference: Davide Chicco et al. (February 2026), "The advantages of our proposed Saturn coefficient over continuity and trustworthiness for UMAP dimensionality reduction evaluation", PeerJ Computer Science 12:e3424 (pp. 1-30), <doi:10.7717/peerj-cs.3424>.
