This pipeline computes the correlation between cancer subtypes identified by different molecular patterns and selected clinical features.
Testing the association between subtypes identified by 2 different clustering approaches and 2 clinical features across 45 patients, no significant finding detected with P value < 0.05.
-
CNMF clustering analysis on sequencing-based miR expression data identified 3 subtypes that do not correlate to any clinical features.
-
Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on sequencing-based miR expression data identified 3 subtypes that do not correlate to any clinical features.

Exclude small clusters that include fewer than K patients, K = 3
consensus non-negative matrix factorization clustering approach (Brunet et al. 2004)
Resampling-based clustering method (Monti et al. 2003)
For binary clinical features, two-tailed Fisher's exact tests (Fisher 1922) were used to estimate the P values using the 'fisher.test' function in R
