Table 1 – Speed-trial of the BHC algorithm. Trials were based on the NASC data (880 genes, 31 features), clustering over genes. In each case, the data were duplicated or a subset of genes taken as appropriate to get the required number genes and features. All trials were run on a single 2 GHz CPU core on a Macbook Pro laptop.
