Instead of kmeans(Y, ...), use kmeans(t(ldr(t(Y))), ...), Y is n*p, p >> n. Much faster clustering, discriminant analysis, prediction models and machine-learning methods for high-dimensional data via Lossless Data Reduction (LDR), a simple pre-processing step. R, Matlab and SAS code based on: Qaqish, B. F., O'Brien, J. J., Hibbard, J. C. & Clowers, K. J. (2017). Accelerating high-dimensional clustering with lossless data reduction. BIOINFORMATICS 33, 2867-2872. DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btx328
