Hi Fredrik, Given that OPTICS is a fairly standard clustering algorithm that can be made efficient on large datasets, I do believe that it would be interesting to have an implementation. Of course, the usual caveat apply: we need high-quality, efficient, tested and well-documented code. It will ta

Is there any interest in an implementation of OPTICS [1] for sklearn.cluster? As part of our thesis work we've extended the cluster package to include the OPTICS algorithm which returns an ordering and reachability distances for the input samples. We're also planning on extracting actual clusters
