Supposedly there is an advantage to using the pairwise distance measure in the kmedoid algorithm, instead of the more familiar sum of squared euclidean distancetype metric to evaluate variance that we find with kmeans. Im employing a fractional distance metric in order to calculate distances. For kmedoid we use the notion of a medoid, which is the most representative central point of a group of points.
