Prototype methods

Short description: Method of machine learning

Not to be confused with methods of making prototypes.

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]
