Description

classify_class_knnclassify_class_knnClassifyClassKnnClassifyClassKnnclassify_class_knn searches for the next 'k'"k""k""k""k" neighbors of the feature vector given in FeaturesFeaturesFeaturesfeaturesfeatures. The distance which is used to determine the next neighbor is the L2-norm of the given vector and the training samples.

The value of 'k'"k""k""k""k" can be set via set_params_class_knnset_params_class_knnSetParamsClassKnnSetParamsClassKnnset_params_class_knn. The results can either be the determined class of the feature vector or the indices of the nearest neighbors. The selection of the result behavior can be made by set_params_class_knnset_params_class_knnSetParamsClassKnnSetParamsClassKnnset_params_class_knn via the generic parameters 'method'"method""method""method""method" and 'max_num_classes'"max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes":

'classes_distance'"classes_distance""classes_distance""classes_distance""classes_distance":

returns the nearest samples for each of maximally 'max_num_classes'"max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes" different classes, if they have a representative in the nearest 'k'"k""k""k""k" neighbors. The results in ResultResultResultresultresult are classes sorted by their minimal distance in RatingRatingRatingratingrating. There is no efficient way to determine in a k-NN-tree the nearest neighbor for exactly 'max_num_classes'"max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes" classes.

'classes_frequency'"classes_frequency""classes_frequency""classes_frequency""classes_frequency":

counts the occurrences of certain classes among the nearest 'k'"k""k""k""k" neighbors and returns the occurring classes in ResultResultResultresultresult sorted by their relative frequency that is returned in RatingRatingRatingratingrating. Again, maximally 'max_num_classes'"max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes" values are returned.

'classes_weighted_frequencies'"classes_weighted_frequencies""classes_weighted_frequencies""classes_weighted_frequencies""classes_weighted_frequencies":

counts the occurrences of certain classes among the nearest 'k'"k""k""k""k" neighbors and returns the occurring classes in ResultResultResultresultresult sorted by their relative frequency weighted with the average distance that is returned in RatingRatingRatingratingrating. Again, maximally 'max_num_classes'"max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes""max_num_classes" values are returned.

'neighbors_distance'"neighbors_distance""neighbors_distance""neighbors_distance""neighbors_distance":

returns the indices of the nearest 'k'"k""k""k""k" neighbors in ResultResultResultresultresult and the distances in RatingRatingRatingratingrating.

The default behavior is 'classes_distance'"classes_distance""classes_distance""classes_distance""classes_distance" and returns the classes and distances.
