The k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) Algorithm in Python
In this tutorial, you’ll get a thorough introduction to the k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) algorithm in Python. The kNN algorithm is one of the most famous machine learning algorithms and an absolute must-have in your machine learning toolbox. Python is the go-to programming language for machine learning, so what better way to discover kNN than with Python’s famous packages NumPy and scikit-learn!
Below, you’ll explore the kNN algorithm both in theory and in practice. While many tutorials skip the theoretical part and focus only on the use of libraries, you don’t want to be dependent on automated packages for your machine learning. It’s important to learn about the mechanics of machine learning algorithms to understand their potential
