Fig. 5: DBOpt performance on 3D simulated data.

a Representative simulation (S01, Table S1f) of 3D clusters, b optimal clustering of the representative simulated data via DBOpt, c comparisons of V-measure scores between naive EVS and V-measure scores for parameters chosen with DBOpt for both ellipsoid and fibrillar clusters, d distributions of the ratio of DBOpt V-measure scores to maximum naive EVS V-measure scores (dotted line represents median and “X” represents mean; n = 20 simulations), and e maximum V-measure and f maximum DBCV scores for each algorithm found via naive EVS and DBOpt, respectively (n = 20 simulations). Box indicates 25th and 75th percentile, whiskers indicate 5th and 95th percentile, and the interior line indicates median. Statistical analysis of d–f is discussed in Supporting Text 4, Table S2d.
