Prototype methods

Prototype methods are machine learning methods that use data prototypes.^[1] A data prototype is a data value that reflects other values in its class,^[2] e.g., the centroid in a K-means clustering problem.

Methods

The following are some prototype methods^[3]

K-means clustering
Learning vector quantization (LVQ)
Gaussian mixtures

Related Methods

While K-nearest neighbor's does not use prototypes, it is similar to prototype methods like K-means clustering.^[4]
