How can the 'k-distance graph' be used in selecting the optimal Epsilon for DBSCAN?

  • By calculating the average distance to k-nearest neighbors
  • By determining the distance between k centroids
  • By displaying k clusters' distances
  • By plotting the distance to the kth nearest neighbor of each point
The 'k-distance graph' can be used to select the optimal Epsilon by plotting the distance to the kth nearest neighbor for each point and looking for an "elbow" or a point of inflection. This inflection point can be a good estimate for Epsilon, helping to choose a value that balances density requirements without overly segmenting the data.
