Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`CompareMeans<V>`	`make()`	Make an instance after successful configuration.
`protected boolean`	`needsMetric()`	Users could use other non-metric distances at their own risk; but some k-means variants make explicit use of the triangle inequality, we emit extra warnings then.

    Description copied from class: AbstractKMeans.Par
    
    Users could use other non-metric distances at their own risk; but some k-means variants make explicit use of the triangle inequality, we emit extra warnings then.
    
    Overrides:
    
    needsMetric in class AbstractKMeans.Par<V extends NumberVector>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the algorithm uses triangle inequality
  - make
```
public CompareMeans<V> make()
```
    Description copied from interface: Parameterizer
    
    Make an instance after successful configuration.
    Note: your class should return the exact type, only this very broad interface should use Object as return type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    make in interface Parameterizer
    
    Specified by:
    
    make in class AbstractKMeans.Par<V extends NumberVector>
    
    Returns:
    
    a new instance
