sknn: Simple k nearest Neighbours

Description

Function for simple knn classification.

Usage

sknn(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'default':
sknn(x, grouping, k = 3,...)
## S3 method for class 'data.frame':
sknn(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'matrix':
sknn(x, grouping, ..., subset, na.action = na.fail)
## S3 method for class 'formula':
sknn(formula, data = NULL, ..., subset, na.action = na.fail)

Arguments

x

matrix or data frame containing the explanatory variables (required, if formula is not given).

grouping

factor specifying the class for each observation (required, if formula is not given).

formula

formula of the form groups ~ x1 + x2 + .... That is, the response is the grouping factor and the right hand side specifies the (non-factor) discriminators.

data

Data frame from which variables specified in formula are preferentially to be taken.

k

Number of nearest neighbours to use.

subset

An index vector specifying the cases to be used in the training sample. (Note: If given, this argument must be named.)

na.action

specify the action to be taken if NAs are found. The default action is for the procedure to fail. An alternative is na.omit, which leads to rejection of cases with missing values

...

Value

• A list containing the function call.
