description

This paper proposes an algorithm to design a tree-like classifier whose result is equivalent to that achieved by the classical Nearest Neighbour rule. The procedure consists of a particular decomposition of a d-dimensional feature space into a set of convex regions with prototypes from just one class. Some experimental results over synthetic and real databases are provided in order to illustrate the applicability of the method.
