  1. Cam Weighted Distance vs. Statistical Confidence Optimized Nearest Neighbor Methods Robert R. Puckett

  2. Cam-Weighted Distance • Deforms the distribution by transformation • Simulates strengthening and weakening effects between prototypes. • k-nearest neighbors used to estimate parameters of the distribution • Inverse transform used to provide a “cam weighted distance”

  3. Statistical Confidence Confidence proportional majority value of neighbors. On low confidence choose bigger k An alternative to globally increasing the k value. Algorithm selectively increases the k-value only when the confidence is below some threshold.

  4. Goals Implement NN-Base System Cam-NN Add-on Statistical Confidence Add-on Create hybrid method Test against dataset

  5. Schedule Main Milestones Software development Dataset generation Analysis Report Writing Schedule
