Sintesi	OPTICS (Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure) is a density-based clustering algorithm introduced by Ankerst, Breunig, Kriegel, and Sander in 1999. It generalizes DBSCAN by processing points in an ordering that encodes the full density-based cluster structure of a dataset, enabling the detection of clusters of varying densities through a reachability plot rather than requiring a fixed global density threshold.	HDBSCAN (Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) is a density-based clustering algorithm introduced by Campello, Moulavi, and Sander in 2013. It extends DBSCAN by building a full hierarchy of density-based clusters across all density scales and then extracting a stable flat partition, making it robust to datasets where cluster densities vary substantially across regions.	Hierarchical clustering is an unsupervised method that groups observations into nested clusters and draws the result as a dendrogram, so the number of clusters need not be fixed in advance. Its agglomerative form rests on the objective-function grouping criterion introduced by Joe Ward in 1963.
