dc.description.abstract | Nearest Neighbor algorithms are non-parametric algorithms that use distance measure
techniques for classification and regressions. This thesis uses the method of pruning to improve
accuracy and efficiency of a nearest neighbor classifier and also states the different stages the
pruning algorithm can be applied and shows the best stage for pruning which gives the
maximum accuracy. The performance of the classifier is shown to be better than other improved
nearest neighbor classifiers. A fast method of finding the optimal k in a k-nearest neighbor
classifier is proposed in the thesis. A method of optimizing the distance measure using a
second order training algorithm in a k-nearest neighbor algorithm is also proposed in this thesis
which results to better accuracy than the traditional k-nearest neighbor classifier. | |
