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.
