Hi Uwe,
Thank you for your email.
I need to compute one value indicating to the performance of knn but I don’t 
know anything other than MSE. Can you please tell me how I do that?


Hi Nancy,

since knn is a classification method, I think MSE is a rather untypical measure. It is more usual to use a misclassification rate based on cross validation, bootstrap - or at least a test data set.

See packages "caret" and "ipred" for functions that make it easy to calculate a cross validated misclassification error for knn on your data, for example.

Best wishes,
Uwe



Many thanks,
Nancy

Hi all

I receive this error message: “Error in mymodel$MSE : $ operator is invalid for 
atomic vectors”
When I use KNN.
This is the code:

library(e1071)
train<- rbind(iris3[,,1], iris3[,,2], iris3[,,3])
cl<- factor(c(rep("s",50), rep("c",50), rep("v",50)))
knn.cv(train, cl, k = 3, prob = TRUE)
sqrt(mymodel$MSE)
#error message : “Error in mymodel$MSE : $ operator is invalid for atomic 
vectors”


There is no component MSE in mymodel. Hence you cannot extract it.

thanks,
