Improving the accuracy and internal consistency of regression-based clustering of high-dimensional datasets.

ABSTRACT: Component-wise Sparse Mixture Regression (CSMR) is a recently proposed regression-based clustering method that shows promise in detecting heterogeneous relationships between molecular markers and a continuous phenotype of interest. However, CSMR can yield inconsistent results when applied to high-dimensional molecular data, which we hypothesize is in part due to inherent limitations associated with the feature selection method used in the CSMR algorithm. To assess this hypothesis, we explored whether substituting different regularized regression methods (i.e. Lasso, Elastic Net, Smoothly Clipped Absolute Deviation (SCAD), Minmax Convex Penalty (MCP), and Adaptive-Lasso) within the CSMR framework can improve the clustering accuracy and internal consistency (IC) of CSMR in high-dimensional s
