MATLAB: Core points of dbscan clustering.

coredbscan

How to get the core points of each cluster in the dbscan. I need to store the core points in a variable. How can I do that? Please help me.

MATLAB: Core points of clusters

As discussed here, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52364959/how-to-find-center-points-of-dbscan-clusrering-in-sklearn and here https://www.quora.com/Is-there-anything-equivalent-to-a-centroid-in-DBSCAN, dbscan does not have a center of the cluster. However, it does generate core points. You can get the core points by modifying the line in your code

core = data(corepts, :);

It will give you all rows conntaining core points. Similarly you can get the cluster number of these core points

corr_idx = idx(corepts, :);

As an example, try this

data=xlsread('glass.xlsx');
minpts=6;
epsilon=4;
[idx, corepts] = dbscan(data,epsilon,minpts);
fig1 = figure();
gscatter(data(:,1),data(:,2),idx);
fig2 = figure();
core=data(corepts, :);
corr_idx = idx(corepts, :);
gscatter(core(:,1),core(:,2),corr_idx);

MATLAB: Number of elements of clusters from dbscan

This example code read data from the excel file. Change column two from text to numeric and then apply dbscan clustering.

data=readtable('Liverxl.xlsx', 'ReadVariableNames', false);
data.Var2 = findgroups(data.Var2); % convert column 
data.Var10(isnan(data.Var10)) = 0; % place 0 in empty cells
minpts=3;
epsilon=30;
data = table2array(data);
[idx, corepts] = dbscan(data,epsilon,minpts);
number_of_clusters = sum(unique(idx)>0);
% remove ouliers
core_data = data(corepts, :);
core_idx = idx(corepts);
% Clusters are saved in a cell array
clusters = splitapply(@(x) {x}, core_data, core_idx);

Tune the value of parameters, minpts and epsilon to change the size and number of elements in clusters.
