So, the better choice is to place them as much as possible far away from each other. The next step in the algorithm is to take each point belonging to a given data set and asso ...

... p(x) or the variance within the clusters that may exist in the data set. As a consequence, density-based clusters are not necessarily groups of points with a low pairwise within-cluster dissimilarity as measured by a dissimilarity function dis and, thus, do not necessarily have a convex shape but ca ...

Nearest-neighbor chain algorithm
In the theory of cluster analysis, the nearest-neighbor chain algorithm is a method that can be used to perform several types of agglomerative hierarchical clustering, using an amount of memory that is linear in the number of points to be clustered and an amount of time linear in the number of distinct distances between pairs of points. The main idea of the algorithm is to find pairs of clusters to merge by following paths in the nearest neighbor graph of the clusters until the paths terminate in pairs of mutual nearest neighbors. The algorithm was developed and implemented in 1982 by J. P. Benzécri and J. Juan, based on earlier methods that constructed hierarchical clusterings using mutual nearest neighbor pairs without taking advantage of nearest neighbor chains.
