Nearest Neighbors

k-nearest neighbor classification

To train a k-nearest neighbor model, use the Classification Learner app. For greater flexibility, train a k-nearest neighbor model using fitcknn in the command-line interface. After training, predict labels or estimate posterior probabilities by passing the model and predictor data to predict.
