ELKI OPTICSXi - how set xi?

I'm trying to use ELKI to cluster a dataset of geolocations using OPTICS. I've understood that to extract the clusters, I need to use the OPTICSXi algorithm rather than OPTICS which computes just the clusters order. I was wondering if you could give…

interpreting the results of OPTICSxi Clustering

I am interested in detecting clusters in areas with varying-density, such as user-generated data in cities, and for that I adopted the OPTICS algorithm. Unlike DBSCAN, the OPTICS algorithm does not produce a strict cluster partition, but an…

How big of a Dataset can ELKI handle?

I have 100,000 points that I would like to cluster using the OPTICS algorithm in ELKI. I have a upper triangular distance matrix of about 5 billion entries for this point set. In the format that ELKI wants the matrix, it will take about 100GB in…
