Fig. 1 — Unsupervised clustering of HNSCC using lncRNA expression data. a Consensus Cluster Plus analysis identifies five major groups (samples, n = 426). The blue and white heatmap displays sample consensus. Number of samples per cluster is shown. Consensus CDF plot (b) and PAC values (c) for k = 2 to 6 are represented. Smaller PAC values are obtained with k = 5 and k = 6, with minor differences between them. Therefore, k = 5 was selected. Specifications and parameters used in the analysis are described in the “Methods” section
