Good question. Judging from the code, it would seem that only Euclidean distance is specialized when the brute force algorithm is used; I'm not sure about the ball tree algorithm. This may lead to inconsistent results when distance weighting is enabled. -- Lars Buitinck Scientific programmer, ILPS University of Amsterdam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
