Description

Currently the library implements an equivalent of DBSCAN with `minPoints=1`. It shouldn't be hard to extend it to accept `minPoints` as a parameter and handle that for a complete DBSCAN implementation.

Research direction

Start by reading the library's current density-based clustering implementation and trace how it handles the existing minPoints=1 behavior. Identify the relevant entry point and tests, then extend the parameter handling so general minPoints values produce complete DBSCAN behavior. Done means the parameter is accepted and its clustering results are covered by tests.
