DBSCAN — Important Conceptual Questions & Answers (Rewritten Version)

Q1. When starting DBSCAN, can any core point be chosen first?
Ans:
    DBSCAN can begin from absolutely any unvisited point — it doesn’t matter whether the
    point is a core point, a border point, or even a noise point. 
    - If the chosen point is a core point, DBSCAN starts a new cluster and expands it using a queue.
    - If it is a border point, it will not start a cluster, but if a core point reaches it later,
      it will join that cluster.
    - If it is a noise point, it stays noise unless a core point’s ε-neighborhood includes it later.

    The order in which points are selected does NOT change the final clustering. Only the path
    or sequence of exploration changes — not the final cluster structure.

Q2. Does the order in which neighbors are ENQUEUED matter?
Ans:
    No. The order neighbors enter the queue only changes the *sequence* of how DBSCAN
    explores points. It does not change the final clusters. DBSCAN always expands until every
    density-reachable point is included, so the final result remains the same.

Q3. After a queue finishes and DBSCAN restarts, can DBSCAN revisit a point already in a cluster?
Ans:
    No. Once a point is placed in a cluster, it is marked VISITED. During later iterations, if the
    algorithm encounters that point again, it simply skips it. This ensures clusters never overlap.

Q4. Which graph algorithm is DBSCAN based on?
Ans:
    DBSCAN’s expansion procedure is essentially a Breadth-First Search (BFS) on an
    ε-neighborhood graph:
        - Each point acts as a node.
        - Two points are connected if they are within ε distance.
        - The queue (FIFO) used for expansion makes the process similar to BFS.

Q5. Why do border points join a cluster but not expand it?
Ans:
    A border point does not have enough neighbors (fewer than MinPts), so it cannot grow a
    cluster on its own. But because it lies inside the ε-neighborhood of a core point, it becomes
    density-reachable and is added to that cluster.

    This behavior is important because:
        1. It prevents many small, unstable clusters from forming.
        2. Border points naturally form the edges or boundaries of clusters.
        3. Points with low density but not near core points remain noise, helping separate true
           structure from random outliers.

    Analogy: A border point is like a “follower” — it can join a group, but it cannot lead or form one.

Q6. What is the difference between a border point and an outlier?
Ans:
    Border Point:
        - Has fewer than MinPts neighbors.
        - Lies within the ε-neighborhood of a core point.
        - Can be reached from that core point and becomes part of the cluster.
        Analogy: They don’t have enough friends to host a party, but they stay close enough
                  to join someone else’s.

    Noise Point (Outlier):
        - Also has fewer than MinPts neighbors.
        - BUT not within ε of any core point.
        - Cannot be density-reached and stays labeled as noise.
        Analogy: A loner — not enough friends nearby and also too far away from any group.

Q7. What if a border point lies near two different clusters?
Ans:
    A border point may fall within ε of core points from two clusters. Because DBSCAN is
    sequential, the border point is assigned to the first cluster that reaches it. It is never
    reassigned, even if another cluster could also include it.

    This means:
        1. Clusters stay separate — DBSCAN never merges clusters through a shared border point.
        2. Border point assignment is order-dependent, although this affects only a few points.
        3. Core points and main cluster shapes remain stable — only boundaries may vary slightly.
