Branch detection for a specific cluster or cut_distance

[m-macias]

Hello,
I am currently trying to combine HDBSCAN with BranchDetector and I am not sure if the current implementation supports my use case. I use HDBSCAN single_linkage_tree to find all lambda values and then I select a smaller subset of these values as possible thresholds for the clustering cut_distance parameter. It works great and I am able to get a list of labels for a given lambda value, but I would like to find the branching clusters that are available for the given cut_distance as well.
Both BranchDetector and detect_branches_in_clusters seem to work on the whole model of HDBSCAN which lack the described flexibility and I would like to avoid calculating HDBSCAN for each cut_distance from the start. Alternatively, I would like to find branches for a specific cluster in subtree rather than passing the whole model, but I guess it might not be possible due to the nature of the algorithm.

Please let me know how I can do it, because maybe I am missing some parameter in the documentation that is crucial. Thanks!

What you want is certainly not available by default. I would suggest you reach out to @JelmerBot, the author of the BranchDetector, to see if you can work out how best to implement what you need.
