How to Use DBSCAN Effectively

A complete guide on using the most cited clustering algorithm effectively

DBSCAN is an extremely powerful clustering algorithm. The acronym stands for Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise. As the name suggests, the algorithm uses density to gather points in space to form clusters. The algorithm can be very fast once it is properly implemented. However, in this article, we would rather be talking about tuning the parameters of DBSCAN for a better utility than the algorithm implementation itself…
