tidy_dbscan: Tidy DBSCAN Clustering

In tidylearn: A Unified Tidy Interface to R's Machine Learning Ecosystem

Tidy DBSCAN Clustering

Description

Performs density-based clustering with tidy output

Usage

tidy_dbscan(data, eps, minPts = 5, cols = NULL, distance = "euclidean")

Arguments

data	A data frame, tibble, or distance matrix
eps	Neighborhood radius (epsilon)
minPts	Minimum number of points to form a dense region (default: 5)
cols	Columns to include (tidy select). If NULL, uses all numeric columns.
distance	Distance metric if data is not a dist object (default: "euclidean")

Value

A list of class "tidy_dbscan" containing:

• clusters: tibble with observation IDs and cluster assignments (0 = noise)

• core_points: logical vector indicating core points

• n_clusters: number of clusters (excluding noise)

• n_noise: number of noise points

• model: original dbscan object

Examples

# Basic DBSCAN
db_result <- tidy_dbscan(iris, eps = 0.5, minPts = 5)

# With suggested eps from k-NN distance plot
eps_suggestion <- suggest_eps(iris, minPts = 5)
db_result <- tidy_dbscan(iris, eps = eps_suggestion$eps, minPts = 5)
