For this simple implementation of the K-NN method, we will use the NumPy and Matplotlib libraries. Also, as we will be generating a synthetic dataset for better comprehension, we will use the make_blobs method from scikit-learn, which will generate well-defined and separated groups of information so we have a sure reference for our implementation.
Importing the required libraries:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn.datasets.samples_generator import make_blobs
%matplotlib inline
So, it's time to generate the data samples for this example. The parameters of make_blobs are the number of samples, the number of features or dimensions, the quantity of centers or groups, whether the samples have to be shuffled, and the standard deviation of the cluster, to control how dispersed...
