@Jacob, I understand your concern about the new algorithms. It will be lost effort to make coding, updating, documentation for a unsuccessful algorithm. Thanks for the tips. @federico, lightning library is, close to what in my mind but not the same. I think, there should be an easy way to see how

Dear Shane, Sorry bothering you! Is the "precomputed" and "distance matrix" you are talking about, are about "DBSCAN" ? Thanks, Best. On Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 7:03 PM, Ariani A wrote: > Dear Shane, > Thanks for your prompt answer. > Do you mean that for DBSCAN there is no need to feed other param

Dear Shane, Thanks for your prompt answer. Do you mean that for DBSCAN there is no need to feed other parameters? Do I just call the function or I have to manipulate the code? P.S. I was not able to find the DBSCAN code on github. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best, -Noushin On Thu, Jul 13,

Hi Ariani, Yes, you can use a distance matrix-- I think that what you want is metric='precomputed', and then X would be your N by N distance matrix. Hope that helps, ~Shane On 07/13, Ariani A wrote: Dear Shane, Thanks for your answer. Does DBSCAN works with distance matrix/? I have a distance

Dear Shane, Thanks for your answer. Does DBSCAN works with distance matrix/? I have a distance matrix (symmetric matrix which contains pairwise distances). Can you help me? I did not find DBSCAN code in that link. Best, -Ariani On Thu, Jul 6, 2017 at 12:32 PM, Shane Grigsby wrote: > This sounds
