Online K-nearest neighbors/Evidence
Method evidence record

Online K-nearest neighbors

Online K-Nearest Neighbors (Online KNN) adapts the classic KNN algorithm to a data-stream setting where observations arrive sequentially and the model must update incrementally without full retraining. Instead of storing all historical instances, it maintains a bounded sliding window or adaptive memory, using the most recent and most representative examples to classify or predict each incoming point by proximity.
