CURE (Clustering Using REpresentatives) is an efficient data clustering algorithm for large databases [citation needed]. Compared with K-means clustering it is more robust to outliers and able to identify clusters having non-spherical shapes and size variances.
A hierarchical clustering algorithm was used to group cell lines based on the similarity by which the pattern of gene expression varied. In this study by Ross et al., the majority of cell lines with common organs of origin (based on information from the National Institutes of Health ) clustered together at terminal branches, suggesting that ...
Apart from selecting a clustering algorithm, user usually has to choose an appropriate proximity measure (distance or similarity) between data objects. [9] The figure above represents the output of a two dimensional cluster, in which similar samples (rows, above) and similar gene probes (columns) were organized so that they would lie close ...
K-means clustering algorithm and some of its variants (including k-medoids) have been shown to produce good results for gene expression data (at least better than hierarchical clustering methods). Empirical comparisons of k-means , k-medoids , hierarchical methods and, different distance measures can be found in the literature.
The most appropriate clustering algorithm for a particular problem often needs to be chosen experimentally, unless there is a mathematical reason to prefer one cluster model over another. An algorithm that is designed for one kind of model will generally fail on a data set that contains a radically different kind of model. [5]
“This discovery opens up a new avenue for cancer treatment,” Dr. Ankit Bharat, the Canning Thoracic Institute’s chief of thoracic surgery, said.. “We found that the same cells activated by ...
It is hoped that one day doctors will be able to look at a patient’s fully sequenced tumour and offer more personalised cancer treatment. Netflix-style algorithm could help guide cancer ...
PyClone is a software that implements a Hierarchical Bayes statistical model to estimate cellular frequency patterns of mutations in a population of cancer cells using observed alternate allele frequencies, copy number, and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) information. PyClone outputs clusters of variants based on calculated cellular frequencies of ...
