mlr_learners_clust.hdbscan: Hierarchical DBSCAN (HDBSCAN) Clustering Learner

In mlr3cluster: Cluster Extension for 'mlr3'

Hierarchical DBSCAN (HDBSCAN) Clustering Learner

Description

HDBSCAN (Hierarchical DBSCAN) clustering. Calls dbscan::hdbscan() from dbscan.

Dictionary

This mlr3::Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr3::mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function mlr3::lrn():

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