TBEST compared to published methods for T10. Performance comparison of TBEST and the three published methods in T10 dataset for the Euclidean dissimilarity – Ward linkage combination (top) and for the (1 - Pearson correlation) dissimilarity – average linkage (bottom). For each combination the left portion (A or D) shows the corresponding dendrogram, under which then true partition and the partition best matching the truth for each of the methods are shown as color bars. In the middle portion (B or E), the relative cRI of the computed partition is plotted against the required level of significance α for each of the significance-based methods. The customary α =0.05 threshold of significance is shown by a dashed vertical. In the right portion (C or F), the relative cRI of the computed partition is plotted against the minimal allowed number of leaves for DTC.
