pyNBS.consensus_clustering

consensus_clustering is a module that contains functions for performing the consensus clustering step in the pyNBS algorithm. The key function in this module requires a list of "H matrices" to be passed into it. These H Matrices are the result of NMF clustering. The NBS_single function produces a single instance of a valid "H matrix" that can be read into the consensus clustering function. For more information on the "H matrix" described here, please see the documentation for the mixed_netNMF function.

Functions in this module

This module contains the following functions (bolded functions are key pyNBS functions):

• consensus_hclust_hard: This function performs the consensus clustering step in the pyNBS algorithm.
• Hlist_constructor_from_folder: A helper function that can construct a valid "Hlist" for usage by consensus_hclust_hard from a directory containing multiple H matrices as delimited files.
