![dbscan](assets/freqai_dbscan.jpg)
FreqAI uses `sklearn.cluster.DBSCAN` (details are available on scikit-learn's webpage [here](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.cluster.DBSCAN.html) (external website)) with `min_samples` ($N$) taken as 1/4 of the no. of time points (candles) in the feature set. `eps` ($\varepsilon$) is computed automatically as the elbow point in the *k-distance graph* computed from the nearest neighbors in the pairwise distances of all data points in the feature set.
### Data dimensionality reduction with Principal Component Analysis
You can reduce the dimensionality of your features by activating the principal_component_analysis in the config:
```json
"freqai": {
"feature_parameters" : {
"principal_component_analysis": true
}
}
```
This will perform PCA on the features and reduce their dimensionality so that the explained variance of the data set is >= 0.999. Reducing data dimensionality makes training the model faster and hence allows for more up-to-date models.
