K Nearest Neighbors in Java
In a previous post, I explored how one might apply classification to solve a complex problem. This post will explore the code necessary to implement that nearest neighbor classification algorithm. If you would like a full copy of the source code, it is available here in zip format. Knn.java – This is the main driver [...]
