Cluster accuracy on the completely synthetic data with different numbers of repeated measurements and different noise levels using average linkage hierarchical clustering algorithm. For each number of repeated measurements and noise level, the highest average adjusted Rand index is shown in bold. As we generated five random synthetic datasets, the results shown are averaged over five synthetic datasets.
