Why DBSCAN?
DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) offers a powerful alternative to traditional clustering algorithms like K-means and hierarchical clustering, especially when dealing with clusters of arbitrary shapes and datasets containing noise.
The table above highlights the key advantages of DBSCAN: its ability to find clusters of any shape, its robustness to noise, and its automatic determination of the number of clusters.
Therefore, DBSCAN is particularly well-suited for scenarios where:
-
Clusters have irregular shapes;
-
Noise points are present and need to be identified;
-
The number of clusters is not known beforehand;
-
Data density varies across the dataset.
