Similarity between Partitions

For every single dataset from GDS or recount2 cohort and for a given $k$, a dendrogram that measures the similarity between partitions from 24 methods (4 top-value methods by 6 partitioning methods) was first generated by cl_dissimilarity() function from clue package. Then an ensemble of dendrograms from all $N$ datasets from the cohort was constructed and a consensus dendrogram was generated by cl_consensus() function from clue package. Figure S5.1 illustrates the consensus dendrogram for each k and for each cohort.

• k = 2
• k = 3
• k = 4
• k = 5
• k = 6
