Lectures on the Nearest Neighbor Method (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This text presents a wide-ranging and rigorous overview of nearest neighbor methods, one of the most important paradigms in machine learning. Now in one self-contained volume, this book systematically covers key statistical, probabilistic, combinatorial and geometric ideas for understanding, analyzing and developing nearest neighbor methods.

Gérard Biau is a professor at Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris). Luc Devroye is a professor at the School of Computer Science at McGill University (Montreal).

Rezensionen

"This book deals with different aspects regarding this approach, starting with the standard k-nearest neighbor model, and passing through the weighted k-nearest neighbor model, estimations for entropy, regression functions etc. ... It is intended for a large audience, including students, teachers, and researchers." (Florin Gorunescu, zbMATH 1330.68001, 2016)
