Example 2: dbscan clustering algorithm

Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN)
is an unsupervised clustering algorithm which is based on the idea of
clustering the points forming contiguous regions of high points density.

These clusters are separated from other such clusters which are also
contguous regions of high points density.

It overcomes the problem of clustering even the
loosely related observations of K Means.

It also produces better results as compared to K Means
for a variety of different distributions.
