Clustering Parameters Question

[AP6YC]

This question is non-blocking for my JOSS review.

Is there a plan to make the parameters stateful or transferrable? For example, after I select some desirable parameters using the persistable method, where do the parameters "live," so to speak, and how could I use these parameters to cluster on another dataset after reloading? I do understand that there is a quick_cluster method in your API, which I appreciate, but as I understand it this method automatically selects parameters based upon the ranges provided. Sorry again if this is due to my misunderstanding of the tool, which is why I add this issue as non-blocking.

Thank you for pointing this out. The parameters selected with the UI can be accessed by calling PersistableInteractive's method _chosen_parameters(). The parameters can then be used as input for Persistable's method cluster(). However, right now _chosen_parameters() is an internal method and is not documented. I think it is a good idea to turn it into a user-facing method and to add it to the API. This will be done in the next release.

That answers my question perfectly, thank you! Looking forward to that addition in the release.
