It is usually possible to obtain multiple types of omics data from a single patient sample. Clustering of these datasets has proved to be valuable for biological and medical research and helpful to reveal data structures from multiple collections. However, such data often have small sample size and high dimension. It is difficult to find a suitable integration method for structural analysis of multiple datasets. Results: In this paper, a multi-view clustering based on Stiefel manifold method (MCSM) is proposed. Firstly, we established a binary optimization model for the simultaneous clustering problem. Secondly, the optimization problem solved by linear search algorithm based on Stiefel manifold. Finally, we integrated the clustering results obtained from three omics by using k-nearest neighbor method. We applied this approach to four cancer datasets on TCGA. The result shows that our method is superior to several state-of-art methods, which depends on the hypothesis that the underlying omics cluster class is the same. Conclusion: Particularly, our approach has better performs when the underlying clusters are inconsistent. For patients with different subtypes, both consistent and differential clusters can be identified at the same time.
