Suneel Marthi resolved MAHOUT-1206.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Add density-based clustering algorithms to mahout
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAHOUT-1206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1206
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Yexi Jiang
> Labels: clustering
> Fix For: Backlog
>
>
> The clustering algorithms (kmeans, fuzzy kmeans, dirichlet clustering, and
> spectral cluster) clustering data by assuming that the data can be clustered
> into the regular hyper sphere or ellipsoid. However, in practical, not all
> the data can be clustered in this way.
> To enable the data to be clustered in arbitrary shapes, clustering algorithms
> like DBSCAN, BIRCH, CLARANCE
> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis#Density-based_clustering) are
> proposed.
> It is better that we can implement one or some of these clustering algorithm
> to enrich the clustering library.
