@proost Let's talk. Feel free to ping me directly on my apache email address. I would love to work with you on a Go implementation and there are important simplifications in Go relative to the Java implementation because you can easily have an array of structs. Regarding your question, a guard for ±inf is more subtle than it looks. If you insert a single infinite value, it will have a centroid with one data point in it. That's fine. If you insert another on the same side, you will start to get centroids with infinite value which is actually numerically correct. You will also have effects on the interpolation code, but that is also likely fairly reasonable. How do you think an empirical distribution with infinite values should be handled? What do you think the mean of such a distribution should be? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
