Array of t-SNE plots each highlighting providers of a specific specialty. These t-SNE plots are derived from the dataset of 227,573 Medicare Part D providers ×195 drug classes. Even with dimension reduction from 2791 individual medications to 195 medication classes, t-SNE plots produced clear groupings of specialties and subspecialties. This plot removes potential bias introduced by prescribing of generic versus brand name medications, and thus is a better representation of prescribing variation across specialties due to patient populations and practice patterns
