    Study Notes

    • Clustering is the process of finding meaningful groups in data.
    • Clustering can be done based on distance, density, or hierarchical clustering.
    • Clustering is important for pre-processing and can produce different results based on the data and application.
    • Clustering is often done using the k-means algorithm.
    • Clustering is important for finding similar groups of data.
    • DBSCAN is a density-based algorithm that creates clusters by putting edges between points that are closest to one another.
    • It is resistant to noise and can handle clusters of different shapes and sizes.
    • The aim of DBSCAN is to determine the "knee" parameter, which corresponds to the optimal Eps parameter.
    • A knee corresponds to a threshold where a sharp change occurs along the k-distance curve.
    • Cluster validity is important for supervised classification, as it determines how well the clusters represent the data.
