Alternative k-nearest neighbour rules in supervised pattern recognition . Part 1. k-Nearest neighbour classification by using alternative voting rules
Abstract
This paper discusses an extension of the well known k-nearest neighbour method. The majority voting procedure is replaced by an alternative voting method. This alternative kNN method is approached from both probabilistic and non-probabilistic points of view. On the basis of an example of differentiation between EU thyroid function and HYPER thyroid function, it is shown that alternative votes can give rise to better classification results than the majority vote.
