Hi Meng,

  I would like to use R to perform k-means clustering on my data which
included 33 samples measured with ~1000 variables. I have already used
kmeans package for this analysis, and showed that there are 4 clusters in my
data. However, it's really difficult to plot this cluster in 2-D format
since the "huge" number of variables. One possible way is to project the
multidimensional space into 2-D platform, but I could not find any good way
to do that. Any suggestions or comments will be really helpful!
For suggestions it would be extremely helpful to tell us what kind of variables your 1000 variables are.

Parallel coordinate plots plot values over (many) variables. Whether this is useful, depends very much on your variables: E.g. I have spectral channels, they have an intrinsic order and the values have physically the same meaning (and almost the same range), so the parallel coordinate plot comes naturally (it produces in fact the spectra).

Claudia



Thanks,

Meng
