Hi,

I'm new to rapid miner and I was wondering if there's a possibility to
introduce periodic boundary conditions for clustering data points i.e. my input data are periodic
and the normal clustering is of course w.o. periodicity.

Kind regards,

fox

    Hi,
    if you use a clustering method that works on a distance measure, you could implement your own DistanceMeasure class to reflect the periodicity.
