description

The recently introduced concept of Nearest Centroid Neighborhood is applied to discard outliers and prototypes 111 class overlapping regions in order to improve the performance of the Nearest Neighbor rule through an editing procedure, This approach is related to graph based editing algorithms which also define alternative neighborhoods in terms of geornetric relations, Classical editing algorithms are compared to these alternative editing schemes using several synthetic and real data problems. The empirical results show that, the proposed editing algorithm constitutes a good trade-off among performance and computational burden.
