Constructing a k-nearest neighbors regressor

We learned how to use the k-nearest neighbors algorithm to build a classifier. The good thing is that we can also use this algorithm as a regressor. The object's output is represented by its property value, which is the average of the values of its k-nearest neighbors.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will see how to use the k-nearest neighbors algorithm to build a regressor.

How to do it...

Let's take a look at how to build a k-nearest neighbors regressor:

1. Create a new Python file and import the following packages...
