One of the most commonly used centroid-based clustering techniques is the k-means clustering algorithm. K-means assumes that the center of each cluster defines the cluster using a distance measure, mostly commo
Similar to 16 S rRNA genes from a microbial clade, protein-coding genes from a core family were considered in this study as a proxy for the metagenomic abundances of the microorganisms harboring these genes. As would be expected, based on this approximation, there were no MAGs containing bot...
Grid-based clustering algorithms divide the data space into a finite number of cells or grid boxes and assign data points to these cells. The resulting grid structure forms the basis for identifying clusters. An example of a grid-based algorithm is STING (Statistical Information Grid). Grid-base...
PCA andk-means clusteringare both unsupervised machine learning techniques used for data analysis, but they have different goals and methods. PCA is used to reduce the dimensionality of the data, while k-means clustering groups data points together based on similarity. The technique you select depe...
Common techniques in unsupervised learning include clustering algorithms like K-means or hierarchical clustering, as well as dimensionality reduction methods like principal component analysis (PCA). Its primary goal is to discover hidden or in-built structures within the dataset, such as grouping data ...
Techniques like principal component analysis (PCA), t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) are crucial for reducing dimensions and revealing patterns hidden in complex data. This process is vital for uncovering valuable insights not ...

Using PCA, we projected the data to a 2-dimensional space: This is very helpful for presenting data to various people in your organization. Moreover, it makes it possible to visualize and inspect clustering and classification algorithms and their performance. ...
It is a common practice to apply PCA (principal component analysis) before a clustering algorithm (such as k-means). It is believed that it improves the clustering results in practice (noise reduction). However I am interested in a comparativestudy of the two techniques or anandin-depth study...
