“…Later, he shown some of the formal properties of this procedure, for example, that the classification error rate is bounded by twice the Bayes error value when you have an infinite number of samples for classifying and k is equal to 1 (Cover & Hart, 1967). Once developed the formal properties of this classifier, he established a line of research that goes up today, highlighting the work of Hellman (Hellman, 1970), which show a new approach to rejection, Fukunaga and Hostetler (Fukunaga & Hostetler, 1975), which sets out refinements with respect to the Bayes error rate, or those developed by (Dudani, 1976) and Bailey and Jain (Bailey & Jain, 1978), in which new approaches were established to the use of weighted distances. Other interesting work on the subject is related to soft computing (Bermejo & Cabestany, 2000) and fuzzy methods (Jozwik, 1983, Keller et al, 1985.…”
