    Hi Jacsuk,

    please have a look at this thread: http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,4630.0.html
    Does that answer your question?

    Best,
    Marius

    Not, because with k-Medoids I have a lot of distance functions, but I need to use my own similarity measure. Can I do that?

    Yes, you can, but you will have to extend RapidMiner with a custom extension and write your own operators (which probably inherits from the core k-Means operator). There is a white paper available in our market place which explains how you can extend RapidMiner.

    Best,
