Implementing on Dummy Dataset

You'll create two datasets to demonstrate DBSCAN's strengths:

  • Moons: two interleaving half circles;

  • Circles: a small circle inside a larger circle.

The algorithm is as follows:

  1. You instantiate the DBSCAN object, setting eps and min_samples;

  2. You fit the model to your data;

  3. You visualize the results by plotting the data points and coloring them according to their assigned cluster labels.

Tuning Hyperparameters

The choice of eps and min_samples significantly impacts the clustering outcome. Experiment with different values to find what works best for your data. For instance, if eps is too large, all points might end up in a single cluster. If eps is too small, many points might be classified as noise. You can also scale the features.

Everything was clear?

How can we improve it?
