Abstract:Abstract. Classical clustering algorithms often perform poorly on data harboring background noise, i.e. large number of observations distributed uniformly in the feature space. Here, we present a new density-based algorithm for approximate clustering of such noisy data. The algorithm employs Shared Nearest Neighbor Graphs for estimating local data density and identification of core points, which are assumed to indicate locations of clusters. Partitioning of core points into clusters is performed by means of Mu… Show more
