The document provides an overview of the DBSCAN algorithm, a density-based clustering method that classifies points as core, border, or noise based on their density relationships. It discusses the parameters, connectivity concepts, advantages and disadvantages, and complexities associated with DBSCAN. Additionally, it touches on the handling of outliers and emphasizes the algorithm's ability to detect arbitrary shapes while noting its challenges in high-dimensional datasets.

- 4. We are going to talking about… DBScan Concepts DBScan Parameters DBScan Connectivity and Reachability DBScan Algorithm , Flowchart and Example Advantages and Disadvantages of DBScan DBScan Complexity Outliers related question and its solution.
- 5. Concepts: Preliminary DBSCAN is a density-based algorithm DBScan stands for Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise Density-based Clustering locates regions of high density that are separated from one another by regions of low density Density = number of points within a specified radius (Eps)
- 6. Concepts: Preliminary Original Points Point types: core, border and noise Eps = 10, MinPts = 4
- 7. Concepts: Preliminary A point is a core point if it has more than a specified number of points (MinPts) within Eps These are points that are at the interior of a cluster A border point has fewer than MinPts within Eps, but is in the neighborhood of a core point A noise point is any point that is not a core point or a border point
- 8. Concepts: Preliminary Any two core points are close enough– within a distance Eps of one another – are put in the same cluster Any border point that is close enough to a core point is put in the same cluster as the core point Noise points are discarded
- 9. Concepts: Core, Border, Noise
- 11. Concepts: ε-Neighborhood • ε-Neighborhood - Objects within a radius of ε from an object. (epsilon-neighborhood) • Core objects - ε-Neighborhood of an object contains at least MinPts of objects q p εε ε-Neighborhood of p ε-Neighborhood of q p is a core object (MinPts = 4) q is not a core object
- 12. DBScan : Reachability • Directly density-reachable – An object q is directly density-reachable from object p if q is within the ε-Neighborhood of p and p is a core object. q p εε q is directly density- reachable from p p is not directly density- reachable from q.
- 14. DBScan :Connectivity • Density-connectivity – Object p is density-connected to object q w.r.t ε and MinPts if there is an object o such that both p and q are density-reachable from o w.r.t ε and MinPts p q r P and q are density- connected to each other by r Density-connectivity is symmetric

- 16. Clustering Original Points Clusters • Resistant to Noise • Can handle clusters of different shapes and sizes
- 17. DBScan Algorithm
- 19. DBScan : Example
- 21. DBSCAN : Disadvantages • DBSCAN is not entirely deterministic: Border points that are reachable from more than one cluster can be part of either cluster, depending on the order the data is processed. • The quality of DBSCAN depends on the distance measure used in the function regionQuery. (such as Euclidean distance) • If the data and scale are not well understood, choosing a meaningful distance threshold ε can be difficult.
- 22. DBSCAN : Complexity Time Complexity: O(n2) for each point it has to be determined if it is a core point. can be reduced to O(n*log(n)) in lower dimensional spaces by using efficient data structures (n is the number of objects to be clustered); Space Complexity: O(n).
- 23. Summary of DBSCAN Good: • can detect arbitrary shapes, • not very sensitive to noise, • supports outlier detection, • complexity is kind of okay, • beside K-means the second most used clustering algorithm.
- 24. Bad: • does not work well in high-dimensional datasets, • parameter selection is tricky, • has problems of identifying clusters of varying densities (SSN algorithm), • density estimation is kind of simplistic (does not create a real density function, but rather a graph of density-connected points) Summary of DBSCAN
- 25. Question: what is Outliers? Outliers are often discarded as noise but some applications these noisy data can be more interesting than the more regularly occurring ones. why ?
- 26. Solution : • The points marked as outliers aren't discarded as such, they are just points not in any cluster. You can still inspect the set of non-clustered points and try to interpret them. • DBSCAN is designed to give clusters without any knowledge of how many clusters there are or what shape they are. It does this by iteratively expanding clusters from starting points in sufficiently dense regions. Outliers are just the points that are in sparsley populated regions (as defined by the eps and minPoints parameters).
- 27. • In practice, it takes some care to choose parameters that won't include those outliers. If they are included in clusters they often act as a bridge between clusters and cause them to merge together into an analytically useless blob.
