K-nearest neighbors
Classifies a data point relative to a labelled data set, using the k-nearest neighbors algorithm.
- Use
Array.prototype.map()
to map thedata
to objects. Each object contains the euclidean distance of the element frompoint
, calculated usingMath.hypot()
,Object.keys()
and itslabel
. - Use
Array.prototype.sort()
andArray.prototype.slice()
to get thek
nearest neighbors ofpoint
. - Use
Array.prototype.reduce()
in combination withObject.keys()
andArray.prototype.indexOf()
to find the most frequentlabel
among them.
