Summary: Three-way information constructions, characterised by three entities, the models, the variables and the events, are frequent in organic research. In RNA sequencing, three-way information constructions are obtained when high-throughput transcriptome sequencing information are collected for n genes throughout p situations at r events. Matrix variate distributions supply a pure technique to mannequin three-way information and mixtures of matrix variate distributions can be utilized to cluster three-way information. Clustering of gene expression information is carried out as technique of discovering gene co-expression networks. On this work, a mix of matrix variate Poisson-log regular distributions is proposed for clustering learn counts from RNA sequencing. By contemplating the matrix variate construction, full info on the situations and events of the RNA sequencing dataset is concurrently thought of, and the variety of covariance parameters to be estimated is diminished. We suggest three completely different frameworks for parameter estimation: a Markov chain Monte Carlo primarily based method, a variational Gaussian approximation primarily based method, and a hybrid method. Numerous info standards are used for mannequin choice. The fashions are utilized to each actual and simulated information, and we show that the proposed approaches can get well the underlying cluster construction in each instances. In simulation research the place the true mannequin parameters are recognized, our proposed method exhibits good parameter restoration
