Spatial Clustering
About
Where do points concentrate into hotspots? DBSCAN, HDBSCAN and K-Means on Chicago crime points
Objectives
- Prepare point data for clustering by reprojecting to a meter based CRS
- Find dense hotspots with DBSCAN and HDBSCAN and recognize noise points
- Divide points into zones with K-Means and choose k with the elbow method
- Choose a clustering method that fits the research question
- Explain how each method works, what it assumes, and how to choose its parameters
- Recognize the population at risk, data collection effects and other pitfalls in hotspot maps
