i have a dataset of thousands of points and a means of measuring the distance between any two points, but the data points have no dimensionality. i want an algorithm to find cluster centers in this dataset. i imagine that because the data has no dimensions, a cluster center might consist of several data points and a tolerance, and membership within the cluster might be determined by the average of the distance of a data point to every data point in the cluster center.
please forgive me if this question has a well known solution, i know very little about this kind of problem! my (very limited) research has only turned up clustering algorithms for dimensional data, but i apologize in advance if i've missed something obvious.
thank you!
