TLDR
A method in which the cluster centers are recognized as local density maxima that are far away from any points of higher density, and the algorithm depends only on the relative densities rather than their absolute values.
Abstract
Cluster analysis is aimed at classifying elements into categories on the basis of their similarity. Its applications range from astronomy to bioinformatics, bibliometrics, and pattern recognition. We propose an approach based on the idea that cluster centers are characterized by a higher density than their neighbors and by a relatively large distance from points with higher densities. This idea forms the basis of a clustering procedure in which the number of clusters arises intuitively, outliers are automatically spotted and excluded from the analysis, and clusters are recognized regardless of their shape and of the dimensionality of the space in which they are embedded. We demonstrate the power of the algorithm on several test cases.

Reversed graph embedding resolves complex single-cell trajectories.

TL;DR: Monocle 2, an algorithm that uses reversed graph embedding to describe multiple fate decisions in a fully unsupervised manner, is applied to two studies of blood development and found that mutations in the genes encoding key lineage transcription factors divert cells to alternative fates.

A Comprehensive Survey of Clustering Algorithms

TL;DR: This review paper begins at the definition of clustering, takes the basic elements involved in the clustering process, such as the distance or similarity measurement and evaluation indicators, into consideration, and analyzes the clustered algorithms from two perspectives, the traditional ones and the modern ones.

Hierarchical Grouping to Optimize an Objective Function

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for forming hierarchical groups of mutually exclusive subsets, each of which has members that are maximally similar with respect to specified characteristics, is suggested for use in large-scale (n > 100) studies when a precise optimal solution for a specified number of groups is not practical.

Finding Groups in Data

TL;DR: In this article, an electrical signal transmission system for railway locomotives and rolling stock is proposed, where a basic pulse train is transmitted whereof the pulses are of a selected first amplitude and represent a train axle count, and a spike pulse of greater selected amplitude is transmitted, occurring immediately after the axle count pulse to which it relates, whenever an overheated axle box is detected.
