How to use 'pdist' for specified clustering technique for 2D dataset

Hi there,

I have two-dimensional timeseries dataset and need to choose a subset using clustering method of Maximum Dissimilarity Algorithem(MDA) as in the attached figure.

Although I was trying to use 'pdist' for the application, I'm struggling to implement this method according to its description.

I need to know that, is it possible to implement this with 'pdist' or are there any other in-built functions to process this to save the computational time?

I would be greatful if someone can help me solve the issue using random datasets.

Thank you very much.
