Researchers have introduced ERICA, a new framework designed to quantitatively assess the replicability of cluster analysis results. This method generates a statistic to determine if identified clusters are consistently found across analyses. While ERICA demonstrated replicable cluster discovery on synthetic data, it highlighted potential for non-replicable findings when applied to real-world gene expression datasets for breast cancer subtype validation, emphasizing the need for rigorous inspection.
