DBSCAN results

TheBear

Hi,
as far as I understood DBSCAN, there should be core points, border points and noise.
I wonder how to identify the borderpoints in the results tab.? I refer to the explanation found here: http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~kumar/dmbook/ch8.pdf
Any help on that?


Maybe I am wrong but it seems to me that not in all cases the Cluster_0 is filled with noise.
I just quick checked with R [fpc package] an easy example where NO noise should occur.
However the cluster_0 is existent in rapidminer. I guess its a valid cluster result rather than noise.
