DBSCAN - Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise

Description: DBSCAN groups together points that are close to each other based on distance and density, and identifies outliers as points that lie alone in low-density regions.

Key Points:

  • Can find arbitrarily shaped clusters.
  • Robust to noise and outliers.
  • Requires tuning of the density parameters.

Applications: Geographic data analysis, fraud detection, biology.
