There is a need of processing and analysing data. Advances in data mining and knowledge discovery provide the requirement of new approaches to reduce the data.In this work, methods are proposed to overcome the computational requirements of the nearest neighbor classifiers. The work shows some of the possible remedies to overcome problems with nearest neighbor based classifiers. The work proposes a new method of reducing the data set size. The author reduces the data set size in terms of number of samples and also in terms of number of features. Therefore, the holistic goal of the work is to reduce the time and space requirements and at the same time not to degrade the performance of the nearest neighbor classifier.The nearest neighbor classifier is a popular non-parametric classifier used in many fields since the 1950s. It is conceptually a simple classifier and shows good performance.…
