Abstract

Nearest neighbors (NN) is a supervised machine learning technique. The basic principle of a NN algorithm is to find the neighbors located near to each data point in the test dataset and then assign it to a class that is most represented by the neighbors. NN classifier works by taking into consideration the maximum number of nearest neighbors belonging to the similar class.
