Hello. I found the behavior of knn( http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/class/html/knn.html) function looking very strange. Consider the toy example. > library(class) > train <- matrix(nrow=5000,ncol=2,data=rnorm(10000,0,1)) > test <- matrix(nrow=10,ncol=2,data=rnorm(20,0,1)) > cl <- rep(c(0,1),2500) &g...

Hi, I was trying to get the optimal 'k' for the knn. To do this I was using the following function : knn.cvk <- function(datmat, cl, k = 2:9) { datmatT <- (datmat) cv.err <- cl.pred <- c() for (i in k) { newpre <- as.vector(knn.cv(datmatT, cl, k = i)) cl.pred <- cbind(cl.pred, newpre) cv.err <- c(cv...

Using R 2.0.0 of July 20 2004 train, test, and cl as defined in example(knn), we have > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:methods" "package:stats" "package:graphics" [5] "package:utils" "Autoloads" "package:base" > knn(train, test, cl, k=3) Error: couldn't find function &...

Hello, I want to do regression or missing value imputation by knn. I searched r-help mailing list. This question was asked in 2005. ksmooth and loess were recommended. But my case is different. I have many predictors (p>20) and I really want try knn with a given k. ksmooth and loess use band width to define neighborhood size. This contrasts to knn's v...

Hello, I am feeling that this question can have a very simple answer, but I can't find it. I need to use the function knn.dist from knnflex library. Whatever I try, I get the error: Error in as.vector.dist(x, "character") : unused argument(s) ("character") First example: > a<-NULL > a<-rbind(a,c(5.2,-8.1)) > a<-rbind(a,c(8.8,-16.1)) > a<-rbind(a,c(10.5,-0.9)) > knn.dis...

hi, r users i have a problem with KNN. i have 2 datasets, X0 and X1. >dim(X0) >1471*13 dim(X1) >5221*13 and for every instances in the dataset X1, i want to find the nearest neighbour(1nn) in the dataset X0. and i dont have the true classifications of dataset X1. but the function knn() need true classifications(cl) to do p...

ear all, This is my first time using this listserv and I am seeking help from the expert. OK, here is my question, I am trying to use impute.knn function in impute library and when I tested the sample code, I got the error as followingt: Here is the sample code: library(impute) data(khanmiss) khan.expr <- khanmiss[-1, -(1:2)] ## ## First example ## if(exists(".Random.seed")) rm(.Random.seed) khan.imputed <- impute.knn(as....

The function knn.cv in the class package doesn't have error checking to ensure that the length of the classlabel argument is equal to the number of rows in the test set. If the classlabel is short, the result is often a segfault. > library(class) > dat <- matrix(rnorm(1000), nrow=10) > cl <- c(r...

I am trying to use knn to do a nearest neighbor classification. I tried using my dataset and got an error message so I used a simple example to try and understand what I was doing wrong and got the same message. Here is what I typed into R: try [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] r "A" "A" "T" &quot...

Maybe you should show your colleague how to access help pages in R? Right in ?knn, it says: prob: If this is true, the proportion of the votes for the winning class are returned as attribute 'prob'. so 1.0 mean all three NNs are of the `winning'; i.e., predicted, class, and 0.66667 means 2 out of the 3 NNs are of the winning class, etc. Andy >...

How can I do a simple k nearest neighbor regression in R? My training data have 1 predictor and 1 outcome, both are numeric. I also need to use FPE and SC to find the optimal model. I know there is knn() in class package, but it's for knn classification. I also find a kknn package. What function should I use? Thanks in advance! Menghui

Hello all, am a newby in R, am trying the knn function, and am doing just a stupid test : > knn(c(1,2,3,4,5,6), c(3), k=4 ,prob=TRUE,factor(c(1:6))) the result is unstable !! i have each time different result : [1] 5 attr(,"prob") [1] 0.1666667 Levels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 [1] 4 attr(,"prob") [1] 0.1666667 Levels: 1 2 3 4 5 6...

Hi I need some help with ploting the ROC for K-nearest neighbors. Since KNN is a non-parametric classification methods, the predicted value will be either 0 or 1. It will not be able to test for different cutoff to plot ROC. What is the package or functions I should use to plot ROC for KNN? Thanks. Qian [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I made some computations with the knn function from the class library. If I execute this function several times (with the same parameters k, training set and test set), I obtain different results. I don't understand why the results for my test set are different. Could you give me some explanations? Is the solution for a k-neares...

Good Day, I'm using the knn function in the package class. With k set to 3, the function returns proportions of 1/3, 0.5, 0.6, 2/3, 3/4, and 1.0 for the test cases. I don't understand how with k set to 3 the proportions can be anything other than 1/3, 2/3, or 1.0 I've seen similar inconsistencies with k set...

Dear list, I have two dissimilarity matrices, one for a training data set which I then clustered using PAM. The second is a diss matrix for a validation data set (an independent field sample). I have been trying to use knn to distinguish distances between the validation data set and the 6 mediods of the training data defined by using PAM. I continue to get error messages in regards to either the lengths of matrices being different or that the dimensions of my data are incorrect. Here are the two steps I am using. I...
