A Preliminary Study on the Effectiveness of K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm Based on Local Mean for Classification of...

The preliminary classification of biological class data is of great importance for bioinformatics. One can quickly classify object data by comparing their existing features with known traits. k-nearest neighbor algorithm is easy to apply in this field, but its drawbacks make it less meaningful to improve the efficiency of the algorithm by simply changing the distance model, so this study uses a local mean-based k-nearest neighbor classifier and compares the accuracy of the predicted classification of six different distance models used. The prediction accuracies in the experimental results were all greater than 70%, and the highest accuracy was achieved in different data sets for all distance models with K=2; the prediction accuracy of Minkowski distance with different parameters had the highest volatility in the test.and the experimental results can be used as a reference for related practitioners.
