  1. Variability in size of clusters that have been shaped with the supervised algorithm, based on 1000 bootstrap replicates. Leukemia stands for distinction between AML and ALL; in the breast cancer data, the separation of the ER receptor status has been analyzed; prostate and colon stand for discrimination of normal versus tumorous tissue; in the SRBCT dataset, the Ewing family of tumors was separated against three other phenotypes; for the lymphoma dataset discrimination of DLBCL against FL and CLL was considered; in the brain tumor dataset AT/RTs were discriminated from four further malignancies; and in the NCI dataset, leukemia was separated against seven other cancers. The presented figures for the four multiclass datasets are representative for all their binary distinctions between a tumor type against all others.
