Implementing DBSCAN algorithm using Sklearn

DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) is a density-based clustering algorithm that can be used to identify clusters of points in a dataset. It is particularly useful for identifying clusters of points that are dense and well-separated from one another.

To use DBSCAN with the scikit-learn library, you can use the DBSCAN class from the sklearn.cluster module. Here's an example of how to use it:

from sklearn.cluster import DBSCAN # Load the dataset X = # your dataset # Create the DBSCAN model dbscan = DBSCAN(eps=0.5, min_samples=5) # Fit the model to the data dbscan.fit(X) # Predict the cluster labels for each point y_pred = dbscan.fit_predict(X)

The eps parameter is the maximum distance between two points in the same cluster, and the min_samples parameter is the minimum number of points needed to form a cluster.

You can also use the fit_predict method to fit the model to the data and predict the cluster labels for each point in one step. The cluster labels for each point will be returned as an array, where -1 indicates a point that is considered noise and not part of any cluster.

You can then use the labels_ attribute of the DBSCAN object to access the cluster labels for each point:

# Get the cluster labels for each point cluster_labels = dbscan.labels_ # Print the cluster labels print(cluster_labels)

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to see any additional examples.
