In this paper, a novel nonparametric classification method to two groups is proposed, which is based on a centroid (prototype, template) of one of the groups. The method does not consider any distributional assumptions, allows a clear interpretation and optimizes the centroid without any parametric model, as it is common in the nonparametric regression context.
