K-nearest Neighbor for Machine Learning

Analogy behind KNN: tell me about your friend (who your neighbors are) and I will tell you who you are. KNN is a classification algorithm used in patter recognition. K nearest neighbors stores all available cases and classification new cases based on a similarity measure(e.g distance function). One of the top data mining algorithms used…

What is Supervised Learning?

Supervised learning is when you have a teacher that has knowledge of the correct answer and is teaching someone else. This teaching can take any form, from simple human feedback or input to a more complex model that predicts the outcome of future events. Supervised learning requires two things: -Training data: The data is used…
