Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm takes a significantly reduced time in computation with comparable performance against the partitioning around medoids.
Abstract
This paper proposes a new algorithm for K-medoids clustering which runs like the K-means algorithm and tests several methods for selecting initial medoids. The proposed algorithm calculates the distance matrix once and uses it for finding new medoids at every iterative step. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we use some real and artificial data sets and compare with the results of other algorithms in terms of the adjusted Rand index. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm takes a significantly reduced time in computation with comparable performance against the partitioning around medoids.

Some methods for classification and analysis of multivariate observations

TL;DR: The k-means algorithm as mentioned in this paper partitions an N-dimensional population into k sets on the basis of a sample, which is a generalization of the ordinary sample mean, and it is shown to give partitions which are reasonably efficient in the sense of within-class variance.

Silhouettes: a graphical aid to the interpretation and validation of cluster analysis

TL;DR: A new graphical display is proposed for partitioning techniques, where each cluster is represented by a so-called silhouette, which is based on the comparison of its tightness and separation, and provides an evaluation of clustering validity.

Finding Groups in Data

TL;DR: In this article, an electrical signal transmission system for railway locomotives and rolling stock is proposed, where a basic pulse train is transmitted whereof the pulses are of a selected first amplitude and represent a train axle count, and a spike pulse of greater selected amplitude is transmitted, occurring immediately after the axle count pulse to which it relates, whenever an overheated axle box is detected.
