Abstract

In this paper we present cost estimates for finding the k-nearest neighbors to a test pattern according to a Minkowski p-metric, as a function of the size of the buckets in partitioning searching algorithms. The asymptotic expected number of operations to find the nearest neighbor is presented as a function of the average number of patterns per bucket n and is shown to contain a global minimum.
