We propose a graph-based clustering method based on Cluster Catch Digraphs (CCDs) that extends their applicability to moderate-dimensional data settings. Existing CCD variants, such as RK-CCDs, rely on spatial randomness tests based on…
Accurate modelling of redshift-space distortions (RSD) is challenging in the non-linear regime for two-point statistics e.g. the two-point correlation function (2PCF). We take a different perspective to split the galaxy density field…
$k$ Nearest Neighbors ($k$NN) is one of the most widely used supervised learning algorithms to classify Gaussian distributed data, but it does not achieve good results when it is applied to nonlinear manifold distributed data, especially…

High-dimensional clustering often relies on geometric or local-similarity structure, but the dominant separation between groups may not always be location-based. Differences in dispersion can create asymmetric local-neighborhood patterns:…
