knn.dist {FNN}

k Nearest Neighbor Distances

Description

Fast k-nearest neighbor distance searching algorithms.

Usage

  knn.dist(data, k=10, algorithm=c("kd_tree", "cover_tree", "CR", "brute"))
  knnx.dist(data, query, k=10, algorithm=c("kd_tree", "cover_tree",
           "CR", "brute"))

Arguments

data

an input data matrix.

query

a query data matrix.

algorithm

nearest neighbor searching algorithm.

k

the maximum number of nearest neighbors to search. The default value is set to 10.

Value

return the Euclidiean distances of k nearest neighbors.
