Hi I was wondering if anyone has R or other code for 'clest' for estimating the number of clusters, well I'm more interested in assessing how good the both estimate and allocation of cluster members are so I'm open to suggestions Dudoit and Fridlyand (2002) Genome Biology 3(7):research0036.1-00036.21 Dudoit and Fridlyand (2003) Bioinformatics 19(9) 1090-1099 Clest is outlined in the first paper Regards Peter -- Dr Peter Baker, Statistician (Bioinformatics/Genetics), CSIRO Mathematical & Information Sciences, Queensland Bioscience Precinct 306 Carmody Road, St Lucia Qld 4067.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your interest in Clest. Unfortunately, we do not have software for this.
