    The document discusses the density-based clustering algorithm DBSCAN. DBSCAN clusters data based on density rather than partitioning into a preset number of clusters. It defines clusters as areas of high density separated by areas of low density. DBSCAN uses two parameters, epsilon which defines neighborhood distance, and minPts which is the minimum number of points required to form a cluster. It categorizes points as core, border, or noise based on their neighborhoods. DBSCAN grows clusters from core points until all density-reachable points are clustered or labeled as noise.

    Density-Based Clustering Algorithm

    Presented by –
    Rohit Paul
    Disadvantages of Partitioning Method
    Choosing k manually
    Clustering data of varying sizes and density
    Sensitive to outliers

    Density-based Method
    Cluster in a data space is a contiguous region of high
    point density
    Separated by lower density of points
    Density within the areas of noise is assumed to be
    lower
    DBSCAN
    Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications
    with Noise
    How is the density estimated?
    Estimates the density by counting the number of points
    in a fixed-radius neighborhood
    KEY IDEA: For each point of a cluster the
    neighborhood of a given radius has to contain at least
    a minimum number of points
    Two input parameters required:
    Epsilon(ε)
    MinPts
    ε-Neighborhood: Objects within a radius ε from an
    object
    Three types of points based on ε-Neighborhood:
    Core Point
    Border Point
    Noise Point
    Terminology used:
     Directly density-reachable
    o A point q is directly density-reachable from a core
    point p if q is within the Eps-neighborhood of p.
     Density-reachable
    o A point q is density reachable
    from p if there are a set of core
    points leading from p to q.
     Density-connected
    o Two points p and q are density connected if there
    are a core point o, such that both p and q are density
    reachable from o
    A cluster satisfy the following conditions:
    If p be a core point and the set of all point which
    are density-reachable from p be O. Then, this set
    O is a cluster with respect to Eps and Minpts.
     For all p and q in cluster C, p is density-
    connected to q with respect to Eps and Minpts.
    Noise, a set of points which do not belongs to any
    clusters
    Pseudo code of DBSCAN Algorithm
    Scikit-learn implementation
