mlr_learners_clust.dbscan {mlr3cluster}

Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) Clustering Learner

Description

DBSCAN (Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise) clustering. Calls dbscan::dbscan() from dbscan.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("clust.dbscan")
lrn("clust.dbscan")
