Introduction:
BM-FKNN is a new generalized version of the fuzzy k-nearest neighbor (FKNN) classifier that uses local mean vectors and utilizes the Bonferroni mean.
The BM-FKNN classifier can be easily fitted for various contexts and applications, because the parametric Bonferroni mean allows for problem-based parameter
value fitting. The BM-FKNN classifier can perform well also in situations where clear imbalances in class distributions of data are found.
Matlab functions:
The functions of the BM-FKNN algorithm (BM_FKNN.m), Bonferroni mean computation (Bonferrni_mean) are included. In addition to those files,
an example (Example.m) of the use of BM_FKNN classifier is also presented. Bonferroni_mean.m is needed to compute Bonferroni mean vectors of the
set of nearest neighbor in each class.
