=========================================================
Comparing different clustering algorithms on toy datasets
=========================================================
This example shows characteristics of different
clustering algorithms on datasets that are "interesting"
but still in 2D. With the exception of the last dataset,
the parameters of each of these dataset-algorithm pairs
has been tuned to produce good clustering results. Some
algorithms are more sensitive to parameter values than
others.
The last dataset is an example of a 'null' situation for
clustering: the data is homogeneous, and there is no good
clustering. For this example, the null dataset uses the
same parameters as the dataset in the row above it, which
represents a mismatch in the parameter values and the
data structure.
While these examples give some intuition about the
algorithms, this intuition might not apply to very high
dimensional data.
