Hierarchical clustering is one of the major analytical tools for gene expression data from microarray experiments. A major problem in the interpretation of the output from these procedures is assessing the reliability of the clustering results. We address this issue by developing a mixture model-based approach for the analysis of microarray data. Within this framework, we present novel algorithms for clustering genes and samples. One of the byproducts of our method is a probabilistic measure for the number of true clusters in the data.
