Abstract

It is a challenging task to find meaningful clusters in a high dimensional data set due to the curse of dimensionality. Microarray gene expression data is a typical high dimensional one of which dimension goes up to tens of thousands. Subspace clustering is a promising approach to handling such high dimensional data. In microarray data analysis, the analysts sometimes pay special attention to specific subspace clusters rather than overall picture. This paper presents a method to find an interesting subspace cluster in an interactive way. The proposed method makes use of a hierarchical clustering result to select an interest region. The selected interest region plays role of a seed from which a subspace cluster grows up. The proposed method has been implemented as a graphical analysis tool and evaluated very helpful in the microarray data analysis.
