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...
