I have a data set containing both numerical and categorical variables, I want to do biclustering on it in R using the package biclust or any other recommended package.
Does anybody have any suggestions for me? Can the package handle categorical variables? As far as I know, it can not handle a data frame, so I had to convert it to a matrix. As a result it changed all the variable types to character, then it did the biclustering without any warning, but I am not sure if the result is trustable and meaningful.
