knn module¶
The k-nearest neighbors for classification.
The k-nearest neighbor classification algorithm is an approach to predict the output class of a new input point by selecting the majority class among the k nearest neighbors in a training set through voting. The algorithm may also predict the probabilities of belonging to each class by counting the number of occurrences of the class withing the k nearest neighbors.
Let \((x_i)_{i=1,\\cdots,n_{\\text{samples}}}\\in \\mathbb{R}^{n_{\\text{samples}}\\times n_{\\text{inputs}}}\) and \((y_i)_{i=1,\\cdots,n_{\\text{samples}}}\\in \\{1,\\cdots,n_{\\text{classes}}\\}^{n_{\\text{samples}}}\) denote the input and output training data respectively.
The procedure for predicting the class of a new input point \(x\\in \\mathbb{R}^{n_{\\text{inputs}}}\) is the following:
Let \(i_1(x), \\cdots, i_{n_{\\text{samples}}}(x)\) be the indices of the input training points sorted by distance to the prediction point \(x\), i.e.
The ordered indices may be formally determined through the inductive formula
where
that is
Then, by denoting \(\\operatorname{mode}(\\cdot)\) the mode operator, i.e. the operator that extracts the element with the highest occurrence, we may define the prediction operator as the mode of the set of output classes associated to the \(k\) first indices (classes of the \(k\)-nearest neighbors of \(x\)):
This concept is implemented through the KNNClassifier
class which
inherits from the MLClassificationAlgo
class.
Dependence¶
The classifier relies on the KNeighborsClassifier class of the scikit-learn library.
