Nearest-Neighbor Classification Structure

A Nearest-Neighbor Classification Structure is an instance-based classification model that uses a distance metric.

• Context:
  • It can be produced by a Nearest Neighbor Classification System (that implements a nearest neighbor algorithm)
• Example(s):
  • a 1-Nearest Neighbor Classifier.
  • a 3-Nearest Neighbor Classifier.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Model-based Classification Structure.
  • a Nearest-Neighbor Ranking Structure.
  • a Nearest-Neighbor Estimation Structure.
• See: Nearest Neighbor Search Algorithm, Instance-based Learning.
