    • process

      Pair<java.util.Set<T>> process​(Pair<T> promoted, java.util.Set<T> dataSet, IDistanceFunction<? super T> distanceFunction)
      Executes the partitioning.
      Parameters:
      promoted - The pair of data objects that will guide the partition process.
      dataSet - The original set of data objects to be partitioned.
      distanceFunction - A distance function to be used on the partitioning.
      Returns:
      A pair of partition sub-sets. Each sub-set must correspond to one of the promoted data objects.
