Tutorial 3B: Step 1 Estimate Missing Values

 

By clustering the NCI60 t_matrix dataset , you can get an idea of the speed of Jarvis-Patrick clustering. First, missing values in the dataset must be estimated.

If you have completed Tutorial 2 (you have a 3-nearest-neighbors dataset under the t-matrix dataset in the Experiments navigator already) skip to Step 2 Perform Partitional Clustering.

 

Estimate Missing Values

1. If the t_matrix dataset in the Experiments navigator is not already highlighted, click it.

2. Click the Estimate Missing Values toolbar icon , or select Estimate Missing Values from the Data menu, or right-click the item and select Estimate Missing Values from the shortcut menu. The Estimate Missing Values dialog is displayed.

3. Set dialog parameters.
