k-Nearest Neighbour Classification
Usage
knn(train, test, class, k=1, l=1, prob=FALSE, use.all=TRUE)
Arguments
train
|
matrix or data frame of training set cases.
|
test
|
matrix or data frame of test set cases. A vector will be interpreted
as a row vector for a single case.
|
class
|
factor of true classifications of training set
|
k
|
number of neighbours considered.
|
l
|
minimum vote for definite decision, otherwise doubt . (More
precisely, less than k-l dissenting votes are allowed, even if k
is increased by ties.)
|
prob
|
If this is true, the proportion of the votes for the winning class
are returned as attribute prob .
|
use.all
|
controls handling of ties. If true, all distances equal to the k th
largest are included. If false, a random selection of distances
equal to the k th is chosen to use exactly k neighbours.

Description
k-nearest neighbour classification for test set from training set. For
each row of the test set, the k nearest (in Euclidean distance)
training set vectors are found, and the classification is decided by
majority vote, with ties broken at random. If there are ties for the
kth nearest vector, all candidates are included in the vote.Value
factor of classifications of test set. doubt
will be returned as NA
