    To summarize, in this chapter we have seen that:

    • In clustering, we identify structure in unlabeled data. For example, we might use clustering to identify groups of genes that display similar expression profiles.
      • – Partitioning clustering algorithms, construct non-overlapping clusters such that each item is assigned to exactly one cluster. Example: k-means
      • – Agglomerative clustering algorithms construct a hierarchical set of nested clusters, indicating the relatedness between clusters. Example: hierarchical clustering
      • – By using clustering algorithms, we can reveal hidden structure of a gene expression matrix, which gives us valuable clues for understanding the mechanism of complicated diseases and categorizing different diseases
    • In classification, we partition data into known labels. For example, we might construct a classifier to partition a set of tumor samples into those likely to respond to a given drug and those unlikely to respond to a given drug based on their gene expression profiles. We will focus on classification in the next chapter.
