How Mean is the Mean? [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
In this paper we voice concerns about the uncritical manner in which the mean is often used as a summary statistic in psychological research. We identify a number of implicit assumptions underlying the use of the mean and argue that the fragility of ...

1-mean and 1-medoid 2-clustering problem with arbitrary cluster sizes: Complexity and approximation [PDF]

open access: yesYugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2023
We consider the following 2-clustering problem. Given N points in Euclidean space, partition it into two subsets (clusters) so that the sum of squared distances between the elements of the clusters and their centers would be minimum.
