Understanding K-Nearest Neighbors in R: Customizing Distance Calculations
Understanding K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) in R Introduction to KNN The K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm is a supervised learning method used for classification and regression tasks. It works by finding the k most similar data points to a new, unseen data point and using their labels to make predictions. In this article, we will explore how to modify the distances returned by KNN in R. Specifically, we will discuss how to adjust these distances based on the corresponding index values.

Using BigQuery to Extract Android-Tagged Answers from Stack Overflow Posts
Understanding the Problem and Solution The SOTorrent dataset, hosted on Google’s BigQuery, contains a table called Posts. This table has two fields of interest: PostTypeId and Tags. PostTypeId is used to differentiate between questions and answers posted on StackOverflow (SO). If PostTypeId equals 1, it represents a question; if it equals 2, it represents an answer. The Tags field stores the tags assigned by the original poster (OP) for questions.
