clusterTimeProfiles {pwOmics} | R Documentation

## Clustering of time profiles.

### Description

Soft clustering of time series data with Mfuzz R package [1]. Filtering of genes with low expression changes possible via min.std parameter. Expression values are standardized and undergo fuzzy c-means clustering based on minimization of weighted square error function (see [2]). Fuzzifier parameter m is estimated via mestimate function of [1] based on a relation proposed by Schwaemmle and Jansen [3]. The optimal number of clusters is determined via the minimum distance between cluster centroid using Dmin function of [3]. Be aware that the cluster number determination might be difficult especially for short time series measurements.

### Usage

    clusterTimeProfiles(dynConsensusNet, min.std = 0, ncenters = 12)

### Arguments

`dynConsensusNet` | result of dynamic analysis: inferred net generated by consDynamicNet function.
`min.std` | threshold parameter to exclude genes with a low standard deviation. All genes with an expression smaller than min.std will be excluded from clustering. Default value is 0.
`ncenters` | integer specifying the maximum number of centers which should be tested in minimum distance between cluster centroid test; this number is used as initial number to determine the data-specific maximal cluster number based on number of distinct data points.

### Value

output dataframe of mfuzz function.
