Machine Learning: K-Nearest Neighbors

Implement and assess the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm.

Continue your Machine Learning journey with Machine Learning: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). Learn how to classify unknown data points based on their similarity to other, known, data points. Use distance and proximity to validate your predictions, and get started with classification techniques.


* Prepare data for a KNN model

* Explain distance and proximity

* Implement and assess a KNN model
