1 # k Nearest Neighbor 2 3 ML CH1 4 5 **Definition:** k nearest neighbor is the idea of using the k nearest elements of some set to derive some information. 6 7 In ml, this can be used used to find the k nearest neighbor regression of a sample using an instance based approach where you would find the k nearest values and average them. This would then be the prediction for the sample. 8 9 Using sklearn you can specify to load k nearest neighbor as follows: 10 11 ```python 12 13 from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighboarsRegressor 14 model = KNeighborsRegressor(n_neighbors=3) 15 16 ```
