1 Optimized Nearest Neighbor Methods Cam Weighted Distance vs. Statistical Confidence Robert R. Puckett

2 Cam-Weighted Distance Deforms the distribution by transformation Simulates strengthening and weakening effects between prototypes. k-nearest neighbors used to estimate parameters of the distribution Inverse transform used to provide a “cam weighted distance”

3 Statistical Confidence Confidence proportional majority value of neighbors. On low confidence choose bigger k An alternative to globally increasing the k value. Algorithm selectively increases the k- value only when the confidence is below some threshold.

4 Goals Implement NN-Base System Cam-NN Add-on Statistical Confidence Add-on Create hybrid method Test against dataset

5 Schedule Main Milestones Software development Dataset generation Analysis Report Writing Schedule
