Abstract As technology improves, how to extract information from vast datasets is becoming more urgent. As is well known, k-nearest neighbor classifiers are simple to implement and conceptually simple to implement. It is not without its shortcomings, however, as follows: (1) there is still a sensitivity to the choice of k-values even when representative attributes are not considered in each class; (2) in some cases, the proximity between test samples and nearest neighbor samples cannot be reflected accurately due to proximity measurements, etc. Here, we propose a non-parametric nearest neighbor classification method based on global variance differences. First, the difference in variance is calculated before and after adding the sample to be the subject, then the difference is divided by the variance before adding the sample to be tested, and the resulting quotient serves as the objective function. In the final step, the samples to be tested are classified into the class with the smallest objective function. Here, we discuss the theoretical aspects of this function. Using the Lagrange method, it can be shown that the objective function can be optimal when the sample centers of each class are averaged. Twelve real datasets from the University of California, Irvine are used to compare the proposed algorithm with competitors such as the Local mean k-nearest neighbor algorithm and the pseudo-nearest neighbor algorithm. According to a comprehensive experimental study, the average accuracy on 12 datasets is as high as 86.27 $$\%$$ % , which is far higher than other algorithms. The experimental findings verify that the proposed algorithm produces results that are more dependable than other existing algorithms. |
