Abstract :
In this paper, we present an analysis of the ensemble algorithm of clustering of cancer data (EACCD) by Chen et al. Using a breast cancer dataset, we demonstrate the effectiveness of EACCD in capturing differences among survival curves. We also investigate the impact of different settings in EACCD and compare EACCD with several other clustering approaches.
