Researchers have developed ERICA, a new framework for quantitatively assessing the replicability of cluster analysis results. This method provides a statistic to determine if data structures are identified consistently and offers visualization tools to explore cluster similarity and outliers. While ERICA demonstrated replicable cluster discovery on synthetic data, it highlighted potential non-replicability when applied to gene expression datasets for breast cancer subtype validation, underscoring the need for rigorous inspection.
