a data frame with p rows and n columns; if clustering on genes - samples by row and genes by column; if clustering on samples genes by row and samples by column
nb
number of classes for partition; it must start at 2 and be sequential(by default 2,3 and 4)
f
part of the data set which is randomly picked for each subsample in the resampling procedure (by default 0.8)
nsub
half of the number of times the perturbation procedure is applied in the resampling procedure (by default 100)
list_DIS
the list of distances to test
list_ALGO
the list of linkage method to test
s0
similarity threshold, must lie between 0 and 1 (by default 0.98)
pdfname
pdf file name for saving graphic, by default = NULL
verbose
print results if verbose = TRUE, by default = TRUE
Value
stab.methods
a list containing methods declared stable for each partition
Returns a graphic containing the frequencies of methods declared stable
Details
Resampling is done by randomly picking without replacement f of
the data set; similarity threshold is the value which is
pertinent to decide that two partitions are similar; see references
