“…Clustering has been applied in a wide variety of¯elds, ranging from engineering (machine learning, arti¯cial intelligence, pattern recognition, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering), 2 computer sciences (web mining, spatial database analysis, textual document collection, image segmentation), 14 life and medical sciences (genetics, biology, microbiology, psychiatry, clinic, pathology), to earth sciences (geography, geology, remote sensing), social sciences (sociology, psychology, education), 16 and economics (marketing, business). 7,10,23,27 Traditional methods of clustering can be broadly categorized into those of hierarchical, partitioning, density-based, model-based, grid-based, and softcomputing. 17,19,21,25 Inspired by DBSCAN, 6 many density-based clustering methods 5,6,20 have been proposed.…”
