Abstract: Abstract An increasing number of microarray experiments look at expression levels of genes over the course of several points in time. In this article, we present two models for clustering such time series of expression profiles. We use nonparametric Bayesian methods which make the models robust to misspecifications and provide a natural framework for clustering of the genes through the use of Dirichlet process priors. Unlike other clustering techniques, the resulting number of clusters is completely data driven. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology using simulation studies with artificial data as well as through an application to a real data set.
