Hi everybody. I recently opened an issue on renaming the clustering parameters: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/844
At the moment, the parameter in KMeans and MiniBatchKMeans and SpectralClustering is called k, and n_clusters in ward. The number of cluster centers in GMM is called n_components. Olivier suggested "n_components" for all the clustering algorithms, while Mathieu suggested "n_clusters" so to make the destinction between clustering and factorization more clear. I felt this should be discussed with a wider audience. The current idea would be to use n_clusters for all clustering algorithms and n_components for GMM. Comments?
