Abstract:

New clustering methods have been proposed in recent years, mainly motivated by microarray data. This new generation of clustering methods has two distinct properties: 1) does not require predefined number of groups and 2) finds small tight groups while not forcing isolated points into a group. We tested these new and traditional clustering methods whether a clustering method can identify one main group, i.e. non-outliers, and small clusters of outliers. Simulation results will be presented and an interactive demonstration of real data will be given.
