Consensus clustering for NPC samples from GSE102349. (a) The relative change in area under CDF curve for each k subtype. (b) Silhouette width of each subtype in NPC. The best subtype number was should be the k value with the highest value of average silhouette width. (c) In the tracking plot, the percentages of subtypes were indicated by different colors. (d) Consensus matrix heat map plots when . (e) t-SNE-plot for RNA-sequencing data from NPC samples from GSE102349. (f) Five-year Kaplan-Meier curves for progression-free survival of NPC patients stratified by the NPC subtypes. CDF: consensus clustering cumulative distribution function.
