Classifier implementing the k-nearest neighbors vote.
Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <classification>`.
Parameters ---------- n_neighbors : int, optional (default = 5) Number of neighbors to use by default for :meth:`kneighbors` queries.
weights : str or callable, optional (default = 'uniform') weight function used in prediction. Possible values:
- 'uniform' : uniform weights. All points in each neighborhood are weighted equally.
- 'distance' : weight points by the inverse of their distance. in this case, closer neighbors of a query point will have a greater influence than neighbors which are further away.
callable
: a user-defined function which accepts an array of distances, and returns an array of the same shape containing the weights.
algorithm : 'auto', 'ball_tree', 'kd_tree', 'brute'
, optional Algorithm used to compute the nearest neighbors:
- 'ball_tree' will use :class:`BallTree`
- 'kd_tree' will use :class:`KDTree`
- 'brute' will use a brute-force search.
- 'auto' will attempt to decide the most appropriate algorithm based on the values passed to :meth:`fit` method.
Note: fitting on sparse input will override the setting of this parameter, using brute force.
leaf_size : int, optional (default = 30) Leaf size passed to BallTree or KDTree. This can affect the speed of the construction and query, as well as the memory required to store the tree. The optimal value depends on the nature of the problem.
p : integer, optional (default = 2) Power parameter for the Minkowski metric. When p = 1, this is equivalent to using manhattan_distance (l1), and euclidean_distance (l2) for p = 2. For arbitrary p, minkowski_distance (l_p) is used.
metric : string or callable, default 'minkowski' the distance metric to use for the tree. The default metric is minkowski, and with p=2 is equivalent to the standard Euclidean metric. See the documentation of the DistanceMetric class for a list of available metrics. If metric is 'precomputed', X is assumed to be a distance matrix and must be square during fit. X may be a :term:`Glossary <sparse graph>`, in which case only 'nonzero' elements may be considered neighbors.
metric_params : dict, optional (default = None) Additional keyword arguments for the metric function.
n_jobs : int or None, optional (default=None) The number of parallel jobs to run for neighbors search. ``None`` means 1 unless in a :obj:`joblib.parallel_backend` context. ``-1`` means using all processors. See :term:`Glossary <n_jobs>` for more details. Doesn't affect :meth:`fit` method.
Attributes ---------- classes_ : array of shape (n_classes,) Class labels known to the classifier
effective_metric_ : string or callble The distance metric used. It will be same as the `metric` parameter or a synonym of it, e.g. 'euclidean' if the `metric` parameter set to 'minkowski' and `p` parameter set to 2.
effective_metric_params_ : dict Additional keyword arguments for the metric function. For most metrics will be same with `metric_params` parameter, but may also contain the `p` parameter value if the `effective_metric_` attribute is set to 'minkowski'.
outputs_2d_ : bool False when `y`'s shape is (n_samples, ) or (n_samples, 1) during fit otherwise True.
Examples -------- >>> X = [0], [1], [2], [3]
>>> y = 0, 0, 1, 1
>>> from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier >>> neigh = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=3) >>> neigh.fit(X, y) KNeighborsClassifier(...) >>> print(neigh.predict([1.1]
)) 0
>>> print(neigh.predict_proba([0.9]
)) [0.66666667 0.33333333]

.. warning::
Regarding the Nearest Neighbors algorithms, if it is found that two neighbors, neighbor `k+1` and `k`, have identical distances but different labels, the results will depend on the ordering of the training data.
