Presets

k-NN classifies a point by majority vote of its k nearest labeled neighbors. Small k gives jagged, overfit boundaries that chase noise; large k smooths them out but can blur real structure. It is the simplest possible classifier — no training at all. Educational tool.

Governing equation

Reading this result: k = 5 sits in the sweet spot: enough neighbors to shrug off noise, few enough to keep the true boundary shape.
