Density Peaks Clustering (DPC) algorithm is a new algorithm based on density clustering analysis, which can quickly obtain the cluster centers by drawing the decision diagram by using the calculation of local density and relative distance. Without prior knowledge and iteration, the parameters and structure are simple and easy to implement. Since it was proposed in 2014, it has attracted a large number of researchers to explore experiments and improve applications in recent years. In this paper, we first analyze the theory of DPC and its performance advantages and disadvantages. Secondly, it summarizes the improvement of DPC in recent years, analyzes the improvement effect, and shows it with experimental data. Finally, the related application research of DPC in different fields is introduced. At the same time, we summarize and prospect the improvement and development of DPC.
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.
