  • resolution (float, optional (default: 0.25)) – Resolution parameter for the Leiden algorithm, controlling clustering granularity. Higher values result in more clusters.

  • batch_key (Sequence[str], optional (default: None)) – Key in adata.obs specifying batch labels. If provided, it handles batch effects during clustering. If None, batch effects are ignored.

  • key_added (str, optional (default: 'Leiden_local')) – The name of the key under which the local Leiden clustering results will be stored in adata.obs.

  • inplace (bool, default=True) – Whether to modify adata inplace or return a copy

  • use_existing_adjacency_graph (bool, default=True) – Whether to use existing neighborhood graph (adata.obsp[‘connectivities’]) if available

  • use_faiss (bool, default=False) – Whether to use FAISS for faster neighbor search (requires faiss package)

  • key_added (str or None, default=None) – If provided, use this key as the output key in adata.obs instead of ‘{groupby}_smoothed’

  • verbosity (int, default=1) – Level of verbosity (0=no output, 1=basic info, 2=detailed info)

  • n_jobs (int, default=-1) – Number of jobs for parallel processing. -1 means using all processors.

Returns:

  • If inplace=True – None, but adds ‘groupby_smoothed’ (or key_added) to adata.obs If return_confidence=True, also adds ‘groupby_confidence’ (or key_added_confidence) to adata.obs

  • If inplace=False – Copy of adata with added columns
