condense: Condense training set for k-NN classifier

Description

Condense training set for k-NN classifier

Usage

condense(train, class, store, trace = TRUE)

Arguments

train

matrix for training set

class

vector of classifications for test set

store

initial store set. Default one randomly chosen element of the set.

trace

logical. Trace iterations?

Value

• index vector of cases to be retained (the final store set).

Details

The store set is used to 1-NN classify the rest, and misclassified patterns are added to the store set. The whole set is checked until no additions occur.
