We present extensive analyses of our approach for both the Dip and Silverman multimodality tests on real data as well as 17, 000 simulations, demonstrating the success of our approach as the first practical notion of clusterability.

The explosion in the amount of data available for analysis often necessitates a transition from batch to incremental clustering methods, which process one element at a time and typically store only a small subset of the data.

One of the most prominent challenges in clustering is "the user's dilemma," which is the problem of selecting an appropriate clustering algorithm for a specific task.

We propose to address this problem by distilling abstract properties of the input-output behavior of different clustering paradigms.

In this respect, we follow up on the work of Kelinberg, (Kleinberg) that showed an impossibility result for such axiomatization.
