The paper studies how to cluster multiple omics datasets from the same patients when sample sizes are small and data are high-dimensional, proposing a multi-view clustering method called MCSM. Using TCGA, the authors formulate a binary optimization model for simultaneous clustering, solve an optimization problem via a linear search algorithm based on the Stiefel manifold, and then integrate clustering results across three omics with a k-nearest neighbors approach. They report that the method outperforms several state-of-the-art approaches and can identify both consistent and differential clusters, particularly when underlying clusters are inconsistent, but they note performance depends on assumptions about whether omics cluster class is shared. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Background: In recent years, various sequencing techniques have been used to collect biomedical omics datasets. 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.
