k-medoides
1. A clustering algorithm in machine learning and data mining that partitions data points into k clusters by selecting actual data points (medoids) as cluster centers, minimizing the sum of distances between points and their nearest medoid
The k-medoids algorithm is more robust to outliers than k-means because it uses actual data points as centers.
O algoritmo k-medoides é mais robusto a valores atípicos do que k-means porque usa pontos de dados reais como centros.
2. A partitioning clustering method that iteratively assigns objects to the nearest medoid and updates medoids to minimize total dissimilarity
Researchers applied k-medoids clustering to segment customer behavior patterns in the dataset.
Pesquisadores aplicaram o agrupamento k-medoides para segmentar padrões de comportamento de clientes no conjunto de dados.
