MIS 655 Grand Canyon University K Nearest Neighbor Discussion
I’m working on a writing discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Describe an example of cluster analysis that you use (or have used before) that you did not realize was k-nearest neighbor analysis, or provide a real-world example of a situation where k-Nearest Neighbor classification could be most advantageous in addressing a business problem.
For example, GPS technology and your cell phone use cluster analysis to locate the closest Dunkin Donuts to your current location. The search engine takes your coordinates and then compares with the addresses of the company (e.g., Dunkin) you are looking for and reports back with your nearest neighbor.
Include the advantages of using the k-Nearest Neighbor vs. other modeling techniques that have more assumptions. Be sure to cite your source(s).
