In contrast, the scan technique, employed by New York State, uses ZIP code centroids and circles drawn around those centroids to represent Long Island's geography.
Of the approximately 30 added centroids, most appeared to represent local minima, as they were centroids that were poorly reproduced in bootstrapping experiments (see Materials and methods) and identified few genes that had coherent patterns of expression (data not shown).
The fuzzy k-means clustering steps described above are repeated on this smaller dataset to identify patterns missed in the first clustering cycle, and the new centroids are added to the set identified in the first round.
Second, because the random initialization commonly used in k-means clustering can have a profound impact on the results [ 15], we instead chose to initialize each clustering cycle by seeding prototype centroids with the eigen vectors identified by PCA of the respective dataset (see below).
Together, the eigen vectors describe the variation in the gene-expression dataset, and therefore seeding the centroids with these vectors provides a systematic method of sampling the data space.
