Hierarchical tree snipping: clustering guided by prior knowledge
MOTIVATION Hierarchical clustering is widely used to cluster genes into groups based on their expression similarity. This method first constructs a tree. Next this tree is partitioned into subtrees by cutting all edges at some level, thereby inducing a clustering. Unfortunately, the resulting clusters often do not exhibit significant functional coherence. RESULTS To improve the biological sig...
متن کاملHCsnip: An R Package for Semi-supervised Snipping of the Hierarchical Clustering Tree
Hierarchical clustering (HC) is one of the most frequently used methods in computational biology in the analysis of high-dimensional genomics data. Given a data set, HC outputs a binary tree leaves of which are the data points and internal nodes represent clusters of various sizes. Normally, a fixed-height cut on the HC tree is chosen, and each contiguous branch of data points below that height...
متن کاملVignette for HCsnip: An R Package for semi-supervised adaptive-height snipping of the Hierarchical Clustering tree
This vignette shows the use of HCsnip package for extracting clusters from the Hierarchical Clustering (HC) tree in semi-supervised way. Rather than cutting the HC tree at a fixed highest (as existing methods do), it snips the tree at variable heights to extract hidden clusters. Cluster extraction process uses both the data matrix from which HC tree is derived and the available follow-up inform...
متن کاملInformed K-Means: A Clustering Process biased by Prior Knowledge
Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is the process by which unknown and useful knowledge and information are extracted, by automatic or semi-automatic methods, from large amounts of data. Along the evolution of Information Technology and the rapid growth in the number and size of databases, the development of methodologies, techniques, and tools for data mining has become a major concern for...
متن کاملHierarchical Pre-Segmentation without Prior Knowledge
A new method to pre-segment images by means of a hierarchical description is proposed. This description is obtained from an investigation of the deep structure of a scale space image – the input image and the Gaussian filtered ones simultaneously. We concentrate on scale space critical points – points with vanishing gradient with respect to both spatial and scale direction. We show that these p...
