Hi there, whether clara is a proper way of clustering depends strongly on what your data are and particularly what interpretation or use you want for your clustering. You may do better with a hierarchical method after having defined a proper distance (however this would rather go into statisti

Hi Dani, If you are working with NMR data, which data pretreatment methods you are using? 13112 variables for NMR data sounds too lot, you should apply some data binning or peak picking methods for data reduction. Also you must consider multicollinearity problems related to spectroscopic data, the

Hello, I have a large data matrix (68x13112), each row corresponding to one observation (patients) and each column corresponding to the variables (points within an NMR spectrum). I would like to carry out some kind of clustering on these data to see how many clusters are there. I have tried the
