How can you use “medoid” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

After finding a set of K medoids, K clusters are constructed by assigning each observation to the nearest medoid.
The goal is to find K medoids that minimize the sum of the dissimilarities of the observations to their closest medoid.
The algorithm first looks for a good initial set of medoids, then finds a local minimum for the objective function, that is, a solution such that there is no single switch of an observation with a medoid that will decrease the objective.
A partitioning of the learning set can be produced directly by partitioning clustering methods (for example, k -means, partitioning around medoid (PAM), self-organizing maps (SOM)) or by hierarchical clustering methods, by 'cutting' the dendrogram to obtain K 'branches' or clusters.
