Perform DBSCAN clustering from vector array or distance matrix.
DBSCAN - Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise. Finds core samples of high density and expands clusters from them. Good for data which contains clusters of similar density.
This implementation has a worst case memory complexity of \(O({n}^2)\), which can occur when the eps
param is large and min_samples
is low, while the original DBSCAN only uses linear memory. For further details, see the Notes below.
Read more in the User Guide.
The maximum distance between two samples for one to be considered as in the neighborhood of the other. This is not a maximum bound on the distances of points within a cluster. This is the most important DBSCAN parameter to choose appropriately for your data set and distance function.
The number of samples (or total weight) in a neighborhood for a point to be considered as a core point. This includes the point itself. If min_samples
is set to a higher value, DBSCAN will find denser clusters, whereas if it is set to a lower value, the found clusters will be more sparse.
The metric to use when calculating distance between instances in a feature array. If metric is a string or callable, it must be one of the options allowed by sklearn.metrics.pairwise_distances
for its metric parameter. If metric is “precomputed”, X is assumed to be a distance matrix and must be square. X may be a sparse graph, in which case only “nonzero” elements may be considered neighbors for DBSCAN.
Added in version 0.17: metric precomputed to accept precomputed sparse matrix.
Additional keyword arguments for the metric function.
Added in version 0.19.
The algorithm to be used by the NearestNeighbors module to compute pointwise distances and find nearest neighbors. See NearestNeighbors module documentation for details.
Leaf size passed to BallTree or cKDTree. This can affect the speed of the construction and query, as well as the memory required to store the tree. The optimal value depends on the nature of the problem.
The power of the Minkowski metric to be used to calculate distance between points. If None, then p=2
(equivalent to the Euclidean distance).
The number of parallel jobs to run. None
means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel_backend
context. -1
means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.
Indices of core samples.
Copy of each core sample found by training.
Cluster labels for each point in the dataset given to fit(). Noisy samples are given the label -1.
Number of features seen during fit.
Added in version 0.24.
n_features_in_
,)
Names of features seen during fit. Defined only when X
has feature names that are all strings.
Added in version 1.0.

OPTICS
A similar clustering at multiple values of eps. Our implementation is optimized for memory usage.
Notes
This implementation bulk-computes all neighborhood queries, which increases the memory complexity to O(n.d) where d is the average number of neighbors, while original DBSCAN had memory complexity O(n). It may attract a higher memory complexity when querying these nearest neighborhoods, depending on the algorithm
.
One way to avoid the query complexity is to pre-compute sparse neighborhoods in chunks using NearestNeighbors.radius_neighbors_graph
with mode='distance'
, then using metric='precomputed'
here.
Another way to reduce memory and computation time is to remove (near-)duplicate points and use sample_weight
instead.
OPTICS
provides a similar clustering with lower memory usage.

Not used, present here for API consistency by convention.
Weight of each sample, such that a sample with a weight of at least min_samples

Get metadata routing of this object.
Please check User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.
A MetadataRequest
encapsulating routing information.
Get parameters for this estimator.
If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.
Parameter names mapped to their values.
Configure whether metadata should be requested to be passed to the fit
method.
Note that this method is only relevant when this estimator is used as a sub-estimator within a meta-estimator and metadata routing is enabled with
enable_metadata_routing=True
(seesklearn.set_config
). Please check the User Guide on how the routing mechanism works.The options for each parameter are:
True
: metadata is requested, and passed tofit
if provided. The request is ignored if metadata is not provided.
False
: metadata is not requested and the meta-estimator will not pass it tofit
.
None
: metadata is not requested, and the meta-estimator will raise an error if the user provides it.
str
: metadata should be passed to the meta-estimator with this given alias instead of the original name.The default (
sklearn.utils.metadata_routing.UNCHANGED
) retains the existing request. This allows you to change the request for some parameters and not others.Added in version 1.3.

Set the parameters of this estimator.
The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline
). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter>
so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.
