DPCLUS
Density peak clustering proposed by Rodriguez and Laio, Science 2014
DPCLUS algorithm computes the density and distance parameters for each event using their spatiotemporal neighbors. Density (=rho
) is computed by counting the number of neighbors within a cut-off distance (dc). Distance to the nearest neighbor (delta
) having a greater density value is stored, as well as the index of the nearest neighbor. Euclidean distances are computed between a pair of spiking events which occurred close in space and time (P.nTime_clu). GPU is used to significantly speed up the computation (~70x of CPU). JRCLUST computes rho
using cuda_rho_() and delta
using cuda_delta_().
Events at the density peaks are identified by searching for outliers in the density (rho) vs. distance (delta) plot, and the cluster memberships are first assigned to the peak-density events and recursively copied to their nearest neighbors until all events are assigned (gradient descending). JRCLUST assigns the cluster membership using postCluster_().
JRCLUST extracts the density peaks by detrending the rho-delta plot detrend_local_() and applying the density threshold (P.rho_cut) and distance threshold (P.delta1_cut).
For a spiking event having the peak amplitude at site (s1
) and the second peak at site (s2
), its spatial neighbors include events that have the peak amplitude at sites s1
or s2
. Since the nearest neighbor can exist at a different site, the membership assignment can globally propagated to all sites. This heuristic can track units that are drifting between multiple sites.
