K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) classifier using Matlab. Use the first n_train points as the training set and the data points between 4001 and 4500 for validation
K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) classifier using Matlab. Use the first n_train points as the training set and the data points between 4001 and 4500 for validation (i.e. to fine tune hyperparameter K). Use any K value between 1 and 80. Plot the classification error percentage of the validation set as a function of K, which is defined as the number of data points being misclassified divided by the total number of data points being evaluated. Explain your observation on the relationship between K and the classification error. Is there an optimal value of K? Was the relationship expected? Discuss the influence of K on classification error, as shown by this example. Finally test the performance of your classifier using the optimal K on testing set (data points between 5001 and 5500) and report the error you observe. Compare the classification error percentages of the optimal K on the testing set and the validation set. Run your classifier by setting n_train as 500 and 2500 respectively (Figure 2 and Figure 3) and answer the above questions for each case. What are the strength(s) and weakness(s) of K-NN classifier demonstrated by your results? How does the size of the training set affect the classification accuracy?
