Özet

The Nearest Neighbour method has been widely used in machine learning and data mining

because of how easy it is to use and how well it categorizes independent observations. Its

inability to take into consideration interdependencies between observations, however, has

restricted its application to dependent data structures. In this study, a generalized structure for

the Nearest Neighbour method is presented that is specifically designed for dependent

observations. We supply an optimized method that improves classification accuracy by

utilizing a brand-new metric that takes into account both the interdependencies between

observations and the individual features. It has been proven through comprehensive research,

including cross-validation and performance metrics, that our approach performs better when

managing dependent data sets than conventional Nearest Neighbour methods. By providing a

reliable method for data sets where connections between observations cannot be ignored, our

research closes a sizable gap in the literature.
