Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biological information computing, and specifically relates to a clustering method for automatically obtaining the number of clusters in a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The PPI network has the characteristics of small world and scale-free, and the present invention can be generalized and applied For other small-world, scale-free network clustering problems. Background technique
[0002] There are many existing clustering methods, mainly including: partition-based methods, density-based methods, network-based methods, model-based methods, hierarchical methods, fuzzy clustering methods, spectral clustering methods, functional flow Simulation methods, overall clustering methods, etc. However, these methods either have special requirements for the application field and data characteristics, or the methods themselves have some defects, some are not suitable for protein interaction (PPI) networks, and som...
