From: BicSPAM: flexible biclustering using sequential patterns

Figure 4

Comparing biclustering solutions using simple, closed and maximal patterns. Biclustering solutions derived from simple sequential pattern representations include all combinations of biclusters above a minimum support threshold (number of rows) and pattern length (number of columns). The adoption of maximal sequential patterns can lead to the loss of biclusters with a moderate number of columns but with a high number of rows since frequent sequences with fewer items but with a higher support are discard. Finally, approaches that use closed sequential patterns are the ones capable of returning all the maximal biclusters, the set of biclusters that are not totally included in another bicluster.
