K-d Neighbors Regressor#

A fast implementation of KNN Regressor using a spatially-aware binary tree for nearest neighbors search. K-d Neighbors Regressor works by locating the neighborhood of a sample via binary search and then does a brute force search only on the samples close to or within the neighborhood of the unknown sample. The main advantage of K-d Neighbors over brute force KNN is inference speed, however, it cannot be partially trained.

Interfaces: Estimator, Learner, Persistable

Data Type Compatibility: Depends on distance kernel

Parameters#

# Name Default Type Description
1 k 5 int The number of nearest neighbors to consider when making a prediction.
2 weighted false bool Should we consider the distances of our nearest neighbors when making predictions?
3 tree KDTree Spatial The spatial tree used to run nearest neighbor searches.

Example#

use Rubix\ML\Regressors\KDNeighborsRegressor;
use Rubix\ML\Graph\Trees\BallTree;

$estimator = new KDNeighborsRegressor(20, true, new BallTree(50));

Additional Methods#

Return the base spatial tree instance:

public tree() : Spatial
