Tutorial 3B: Step 2 Perform Partitional Clustering

 

Perform Partitional Clustering

1. If the 3-nearest-neighbors (or Estimated: #mv <30 | median) dataset in the Experiments navigator is not already highlighted, click it.

2. Click the Partitional Clustering toolbar icon , or select Partitional Clustering from the Clustering menu, or right-click the item and select Partitional Clustering from the shortcut menu. The Partitional Clustering parameters dialog is displayed.

3. Set dialog parameters.

4. Click OK. The partitional clustering operation is performed and upon successful completion, a new J-P (6,2) genes | Euclid | average experiment is added to the Experiments navigator under the original dataset.

If you have automatic visualizations enabled in your user preferences, a matrix tree plot of the clustering results is displayed.
