[EN] The new concept archetypoids is introduced. Archetypoid analysis represents each observation in a dataset as a mixture of actual observations in the dataset, which are pure type or archetypoids. Unlike archetype analysis, archetypoids are real observations, not a mixture of observations. This is relevant when existing archetypal observations are needed, rather than fictitious ones. An algorithm is proposed to find them and some of their theoretical properties are introduced. It is also shown how they can be obtained when only dissimilarities between observations are known (features are unavailable). Archetypoid analysis is illustrated in two design problems and several examples, comparing them with the archetypes, the nearest observations to them and other unsupervised methods.

The authors would like to thank Juan Domingo from the University of Valencia for providing the binary images of women’s
trunks. They would also like to thank the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia for providing them with the dataset and
the Spanish Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs for having promoted and coordinated the ‘‘Anthropometric Study of the Female Population in Spain’’. The authors are also grateful to the Associate Editor and two reviewers for their very
constructive suggestions, which have led to improvements in the manuscript. This work has been partially supported by
Grant DPI2013-47279-C2-1-R.
