public class KMedoidsPAMReynolds<V>
extends KMedoidsPAM<V>

The Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) algorithm with some additional optimizations proposed by Reynolds et al.

In our implementation, we could not observe a substantial improvement over the original PAM algorithm. This may be because of modern CPU architectures, where saving an addition may be neglibile compared to caching and pipelining.
