Asymptotic Expansions of the k Nearest Neighbor Risk

Asymptotic Expansions of the k Nearest Neighbor Risk

The finite-sample risk of the k nearest neighbor classifier that uses a weighted Lp-metric as a measure of class similarity is examined. For a family of classification problems with smooth distributions in Rn, an asymptotic expansion for the risk is obtained in decreasing fractional powers of the re...

520 |a The finite-sample risk of the k nearest neighbor classifier that uses a weighted Lp-metric as a measure of class similarity is examined. For a family of classification problems with smooth distributions in Rn, an asymptotic expansion for the risk is obtained in decreasing fractional powers of the reference sample size. An analysis of the leading expansion coefficients reveals that the optimal weighted Lp-metric, that is, the metric that minimizes the finite-sample risk, tends to a weighted Euclidean (i.e., L2) metric as the sample size is increased. Numerical simulations corroborate this finding for a pattern recognition problem with normal class-conditional densities.
