k-NN Implementation Steps: 6 to 9

This lesson will continue to familiarize you with the implementation steps (6-9) of the k-nearest neighbor method.

6) Set algorithm

Assign and configure the k-NN algorithm to an initial number of neighbors. The algorithm is then matched to reflect the default number for this algorithm (5). Note that setting k to an uneven number helps eliminate the possibility of a prediction stalemate in the case of a binary prediction.
