Actors

The context for our application that classifies iris species involves these two classes of actors:

• A “Botanist” who provides the properly classified training data and a properly classified set of test data. The Botanist also runs the test cases to establish the proper parameters for the classification. In the simple case of $k$-NN, they can decide which $k$ value should be used.
• A “User” who needs to do the classification of unknown data. The User has made careful measurements and makes a request with the measurement data to get a classification from this classifier system.
