@spec calcError(t(), Evision.ML.TrainData.t(), boolean()) ::
  {number(), Evision.Mat.t()} | {:error, String.t()}

Computes error on the training or test dataset

Positional Arguments

• self: Evision.ML.KNearest.t()

• data: Evision.ML.TrainData.t().

  the training data

• test: bool.

  if true, the error is computed over the test subset of the data, otherwise it's computed over the training subset of the data. Please note that if you loaded a completely different dataset to evaluate already trained classifier, you will probably want not to set the test subset at all with TrainData::setTrainTestSplitRatio and specify test=false, so that the error is computed for the whole new set. Yes, this sounds a bit confusing.

Return

• retval: float

• resp: Evision.Mat.t().

  the optional output responses.

The method uses StatModel::predict to compute the error. For regression models the error is computed as RMS, for classifiers - as a percent of missclassified samples (0%-100%).

@spec findNearest(t(), Evision.Mat.maybe_mat_in(), integer()) ::
  {number(), Evision.Mat.t(), Evision.Mat.t(), Evision.Mat.t()}
  | {:error, String.t()}

Finds the neighbors and predicts responses for input vectors.

Positional Arguments

• self: Evision.ML.KNearest.t()

• samples: Evision.Mat.

  Input samples stored by rows. It is a single-precision floating-point matrix of <number_of_samples> * k size.

• k: integer().

  Number of used nearest neighbors. Should be greater than 1.

Return

• retval: float

• results: Evision.Mat.t().

  Vector with results of prediction (regression or classification) for each input sample. It is a single-precision floating-point vector with <number_of_samples> elements.

• neighborResponses: Evision.Mat.t().

  Optional output values for corresponding neighbors. It is a single- precision floating-point matrix of <number_of_samples> * k size.

• dist: Evision.Mat.t().

  Optional output distances from the input vectors to the corresponding neighbors. It is a single-precision floating-point matrix of <number_of_samples> * k size.

For each input vector (a row of the matrix samples), the method finds the k nearest neighbors. In case of regression, the predicted result is a mean value of the particular vector's neighbor responses. In case of classification, the class is determined by voting. For each input vector, the neighbors are sorted by their distances to the vector. In case of C++ interface you can use output pointers to empty matrices and the function will allocate memory itself. If only a single input vector is passed, all output matrices are optional and the predicted value is returned by the method. The function is parallelized with the TBB library.
