Discovering clusters of varyingly shapes, sizes and densities in a data set is still a challenging problem for densitybased algorithms. Recently presented approaches either require the input parameters involving the information about the structure of the data set, or are restricted to two-dimensional data. In this paper, we present a density-based clustering algorithm, which uses the fuzzy proximity relations between data objects for discovering differently dense clusters without any a-priori knowledge of a data set. In experiments, we show that our approach also correctly detects clusters closely located to each other and clusters with wide density variations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
