<![CDATA[Purpose: The application of biclustering using the plaid model aims to simultaneously identify mapping or grouping patterns of provinces and fruit type in Indonesia. The performance evaluation of the plaid model algorithm is used to assess its capability to discover and generate optimal biclusters, thereby representing the relationship between regions and fruit types with similar production characteristics. Methods: The plaid model algorithm produces optimal biclusters by configuring parameter scenarios such as model selection, managing the number of layers, and determining threshold values for rows and columns. The Average Mean Square Residue (MSR) value and the number of biclusters that can provide the most relevant data are used to determine the optimal parameter selection. Result: The plaid model algorithm effectively grouped provinces and fruit varieties into multiple biclusters. The row-constant model was choosen based on the average MSR value of 2.0537, which formed five overlapping biclusters across provinces and fruit types. Several provinces, such as Central Java and West Java, demonstrated a high potential for rose apples, breadfruit, and salak. Other provinces showed comparatively moderate levels of production. Novelty: This study presents a novel way to apply the plaid model biclustering algorithm to data on fruit varieties in various Indonesian provinces. Rarely used in horticulture, this method offers an alternative perspective on structured commodity mapping, especially when identifying specific patterns between fruit varieties and geographic distribution.]]>
