Plot of the average silhouette value according to the number of clusters. This was assessed on RnBeads using an average linkage-based algorithm. The combined cohort demonstrates no distinct clustering according to observed methylation values. A silhouette value of “1” indicates good classification of the observation into the cluster, a value of “0” indicates that the observation lies independent of the groupings, whilst a negative value indicates poor classification and likely incorrect grouping
