Abstract

The nearest neighbor classification method assigns to an unclassified point the class of the nearest of a set of previously classified points. An extension to this approach is the K-NN method, in which the classification is made taking into account the K nearest points and classifying the unclassified point by a voting criteria from this k points. We present a new method that extends the K-NN limits, taking into account, for each neighbor, its I nearest neighbors. Experimental results are promising, obtaining better results for two class problems than the original K-NN.
