k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) Classifier

Multi-class Classification with the kNN

Function
1. kNNeighbors.predict(_)
2. kNNeighbors.find(_)

Description
1. Returns the estimated labels of one or multiple test instances.
2. Returns the indices and the respective distances of the k nearest training instances.

Examples using Iris Data Set

load fisheriris

X = meas;
Y = species;
Xnew = [min(X);mean(X);max(X)];
k = 5;
metric = 'euclidean';

mdl = kNNeighbors(k,metric);
mdl = mdl.fit(X,Y);
Ypred = mdl.predict(Xnew)

Ypred =

'setosa'
'versicolor'
'virginica'


Ynew = {'versicolor';'versicolor';'virginica'};
accuracy = accuracy_score(Ypred,Ynew)

accuracy =

0.6667
