Empirical Evaluation of the Difficulty of Finding a Good Value of k for the Nearest Neighbor

As an analysis of the classification accuracy bound for the Nearest Neighbor technique, in this work we have studied if it is possible to find a good value of the parmeter k for each example according to their attribute values. Or at least, if there is a pattern for the parameter k in the original s...
