Hello. I found the behavior of knn( http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/class/html/knn.html) function looking very strange. Consider the toy example. > library(class) > train <- matrix(nrow=5000,ncol=2,data=rnorm(10000,0,1)) > test <- matrix(nrow=10,ncol=2,data=rnorm(20,0,1)) > cl <- rep(c(0,1),2500) > knn(train,test,cl,1) [1] 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 Levels: 0 1
It works properly if you pass any number of nearest neibhours (4-th parameter) from 1 to 499 But if you run it with number of n.n. >= 500 than there would be an error. > knn(train,test,cl,500) error in knn(train, test, cl, 500) : too many ties in knn no matter what data you have. even if you run it with odd number of n.n., say, 501 (so there just can't be any ties) there will be exactly the same error. Am I missing smth?
