EEkNN: k-Nearest Neighbor Classifier with an Evidential Editing Procedure for Training Samples

Evidential Editing K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier

One of the difficulties that arises when using the K-nearest neighbor rule is that each of the labeled training samples is given equal importance in deciding the class of the query pattern to be classified, regardless of their typicality. In this paper, the theory of belief functions is introduced into the K-nearest neighbor rule to develop an evidential editing version of this algorithm. An ev...

A Modified Editing k-nearest Neighbor Rule

Classification of objects is an important area in a variety of fields and applications. Many different methods are available to make a decision in those cases. The knearest neighbor rule (k-NN) is a well-known nonparametric decision procedure. Classification rules based on the k-NN have already been proposed and applied in diverse substantive areas. The editing k-NN proposed by Wilson would be ...

An Improved K-Nearest Neighbor with Crow Search Algorithm for Feature Selection in Text Documents Classification

The Internet provides easy access to a kind of library resources. However, classification of documents from a large amount of data is still an issue and demands time and energy to find certain documents. Classification of similar documents in specific classes of data can reduce the time for searching the required data, particularly text documents. This is further facilitated by using Artificial...
