scientimate.findknn#

indxknn, distknn = scientimate.findknn(x, y, xpoint, ypoint, numofneighbors=1, distCalcMethod='1d', dispout='no')

Description#

Find k-nearest neighbors using Euclidean distance

Inputs#

x

Coordinate of data in x direction

y

Coordinate of data in y direction

xpoint

Coordinate (in x direction) of point that nearest point to that is disired to be found

ypoint

Coordinate (in y direction) of point that nearest point to that is disired to be found

numofneighbors=1

Number of nearest neighbors to (xpoint,ypoint) that are desired to be found

distCalcMethod=’1d’
Distance calculation method
‘1d’: use 1d array
‘pdist2’: Use 2d distance function
‘vector’: Use vectorized distance
dispout=’no’

Define to display outputs or not (‘yes’: display, ‘no’: not display)

Outputs#

indxknn
Index of nearest neighbors points
returns M*N array where M=length(xpoint) and N=numofneighbors
nth row associated with nth point in (xpoint,ypoint)
distknn
Distance of nearest neighbors points
returns M*N array where M=length(xpoint) and N=numofneighbors
mth row associated with mth point in (xpoint,ypoint)
nth column associated with nth nearest neighbors

Examples#

import scientimate as sm
import numpy as np

x=10*np.random.rand(100)
y=10*np.random.rand(100)
xpoint=np.mean(x)
ypoint=np.mean(y)
indxknn,distknn=sm.findknn(x,y,xpoint,ypoint,1,'1d','yes')

x=10*np.random.rand(100)
y=10*np.random.rand(100)
xpoint=[2.5,5,7.5]
ypoint=[3,6,9]
indxknn,distknn=sm.findknn(x,y,xpoint,ypoint,10,'1d','yes')
