We study two variants of the fundamental problem of finding a cluster in incomplete data. In the problems under consideration, we are given a multiset of incomplete $d$-dimensional vectors over the binary domain and integers $k$ and $r$, and the goal is to complete the missing vector entries so that the multiset of complete vectors either contains (i) a cluster of $k$ vectors of radius at most $r$, or (ii) a cluster of $k$ vectors of diameter at most $r$. We give tight characterizations of the parameterized complexity of the problems under consideration with respect to the parameters $k$, $r$, and a third parameter that captures the missing vector entries.
