Abstract
This chapter compares the toughness of k-means, DBSCAN, and adaptive clustering algorithms for grouping data points into distinct clusters. The k-means algorithm is a widely used method that is easy to implement and efficient. The DBSCAN algorithm is a density-based method that is well-suited for datasets with clusters of varying densities, but it can be sensitive to the choice of parameters. In order to determine the ideal number of clusters within a dataset, adaptive clustering algorithms dynamically alter the number of clusters during the clustering process. The production of these algorithms is evaluated on a variety of datasets, and the results are compared in terms of accuracy and efficiency. According to the chapter's conclusion, each method has advantages and disadvantages of its own, and the ideal approach to apply will vary depending on the particular dataset and the objectives of the study.
