A technique is presented for adopting nearest-neighbor classification to the case of categorical variables. The set of categories is mapped onto the real line in such a way as to maximize the ratio of total sum of squares to within-class sum of squares, aggregated over classes. The resulting real va

Take N sites distributed randomly and uniformly on a smooth closed surface. We express the expected distance D k N from an arbitrary point on the surface to its kth-nearest neighboring site, in terms of the function A l giving the area of a disc of radius l about that point. We then find two univers
In this paper very simple nonparametric c l d i c a t i o n rule for mixtures of discrete and oonhuons random variables is described. It ie based on the method of neatest neighbor proposed by COVEB and HABT (1967). The bounds on the limit of the near& neighbor ruleriske are given. Both lower and upp
