Explainable HDBSCAN/Evidence
Method evidence record

Explainable HDBSCAN

Explainable HDBSCAN combines the hierarchical density-based clustering algorithm HDBSCAN with post-hoc explainability methods — primarily SHAP — to reveal which input features drive cluster membership and separation. It retains HDBSCAN's ability to find clusters of varying shape and density while adding a principled, auditable explanation layer.
