For any pattern matching based algorithm in WLAN environment, the characteristics of signal to noise ratio(SNR) to multiple access points(APs) are utilized to establish database in the training phase, and in the estimation phase, the actual two dimensional coordinates of mobile unit(MU) are estimated based on the comparison between the new recorded SNR and fingerprints stored in database. As fingerprinting method, k-nearest neighbor(KNN) has been widely applied for indoor location in wireless location area networks(WLAN), but its performance is sensitive to number of neighbors k and positions of reference points(RPs). So intuitive fuzzy c-means(IFCM) clustering algorithm is applied to improve KNN, which is the KNN/IFCM hybrid algorithm presented in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, through KNN, k RPs are firstly chosen as the data samples of IFCM based on signal to noise ratio(SNR). Then, the k RPs are classified into different clusters through IFCM based on SNR. Experimental results indicate that the proposed KNN/IFCM hybrid algorithm generally outperforms KNN, KNN/FCM, KNN/PFCM algorithm when the locations error is less than 2m.

For the indoor location, wireless fingerprinting is most favorable because fingerprinting is most accurate among the technique for wireless network based indoor location which does not require any special equipments dedicated for positioning. As fingerprinting method,k-nearest neighbor(KNN) has been widely applied for indoor location in wireless location area networks(WLAN), but its performance is sensitive to number of neighborsk and positions of reference points(RPs). So possibilistic fuzzy c-means(PFCM) clustering algorithm is applied to improve KNN, which is the KNN/PFCM hybrid algorithm presented in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, through KNN,k RPs are firstly chosen as the data samples of PFCM based on signal to noise ratio(SNR). Then, thek RPs are classified into different clusters through PFCM based on SNR. Experimental results indicate that the proposed KNN/PFCM hybrid algorithm generally outperforms KNN and KNN/FCM algorithm when the locations error is less than 2m.

As fingerprinting method, k-nearest neighbor(KNN) has been widely applied for indoor location in wireless location area networks(WLAN), but its performance is sensitive to number of neighbors k and positions of reference points(RPs). So artificial neural network(ANN) clustering algorithm is applied to improve KNN, which is the KNN/ANN hybrid algorithm presented in this paper. For any pattern matching based algorithm in WLAN environment, the characteristics of signal to noise ratio(SNR) to multiple access points(APs) are utilized to establish database in the training phase, and in the estimation phase, the actual two dimensional coordinates of mobile unit(MU) are estimated based on the comparison between the new recorded SNR and fingerprints stored in database. In the proposed algorithm, through KNN, k RPs are firstly chosen as the data samples of ANN based on SNR. Then, the k RPs are classified into different clusters through ANN based on SNR. Experimental results indicate that the proposed KNN/ANN hybrid algorithm generally outperforms KNN algorithm when the locations error is less than 2m.

This paper introduces an interference elimination method using k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm for precise distance estimation by reducing interference between ultrasonic sensors. Conventional methods compare current distance measurement result with previous distance measurement results. If the difference exceeds some thresholds, conventional methods recognize them as interference and exclude them, but they often suffer from imprecise distance prediction. KNN algorithm classifies input values measured by multiple ultrasonic sensors and predicts high accuracy outputs. Experiments of distance measurements are conducted where interference frequently occurs by multiple ultrasound sensors of same type, and the results show that KNN algorithm significantly reduce distance prediction errors. Also the results show that the prediction performance of KNN algorithm is superior to conventional voting methods.

This paper proposes a new classification system combining the adaptive feature weighting algorithm using the genetic algorithm and the modified KNN rule. GA is employed to choose the middle value of weights and weights of features for high performance of the system. The modified KNN rule is proposed to estimate the class of test pattern using adaptive feature space. Experiments with the unconstrained handwritten digit database of Concordia University in Canada are conducted to show the performance of the proposed method.

Fingerprinting 방식에서 KNN은 WLAN 기반 실내 측위에 가장 많이 적용되고 있지만 KNN의 성능은 k개의 이웃 수와 RP의 수에 따라 민감하다. 논문에서는 KNN 성능을 향상시키기 위해 ANN 군집화를 적용한 KNN과 ANN을 혼합한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 신호잡음비 데이터를 KNN 방법에 적용하여 k개의 RP을 선택한 후 선택된 RP의 신호잡음비를 ANN에 적용하여 k개의 RP를 군집하여 분류한다. 실험 결과에서는 위치 오차가 2m 이내에서 KNN/ANN 알고리즘이 KNN 알고리즘보다 성능이 우수하다.

We proposed the research on an analysis and prediction model that allows the identification of outliers or abnormality in the data followed by effective and rapid imputation of missing values was conducted. This model is expected to analyze efficiently the problems in the data based on the calibrated raw data. As a result, a system that can adequately utilize the data was constructed by using the introduced KNN + MLE algorithm. With this algorithm, the problems in some of the existing KNN-based missing data imputation algorithms such as ignoring the missing values in some data sections or discarding normal observations were effectively addressed. A comparative evaluation was performed between the existing imputation approaches such as K-means, KNN, MEI, and MI as well as the data missing mechanisms including MCAR, MAR, and NI to check the effectiveness/efficiency of the proposed algorithm, and its superiority in all aspects was confirmed.

무선 네트워크 기반 실내 측위는 측위를 위한 특수 장비를 필요로 하지 않고, Fingerprinting 방식은 무선네트워크 기반 측위를 위한 기술 중에서 가장 정확도가 높기 때문에 무선 네트워크 Fingerprinting 방식이 가장 적당한 실내 측위 방법이다. Fingerprinting 방식에서 KNN은 WLAN 기반 실내 측위에 가장 많이 적용되고 있지만 KNN의 성능은 k개의 이웃 수와 RP의 수에 따라 민감하다. 논문에서는 KNN 성능을 향상시키기 위해 PFCM 군집화를 적용한 KNN과 PFCM을 혼합한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 신호잡음비 데이터를 KNN 방법에 적용하여 k개의 RP를 선택한 후 선택된 RP의 신호잡음비를 PFCM에 적용하여 k개의 RP를 군집하여 분류한다. 실험 결과에서는 위치 오차가 2m 이내에서 KNN/PFCM 알고리즘이 KNN과 KNN/FCM 알고리즘보다 성능이 우수하다.

In this paper, we focus on solving the classification problem by using semisupervised learning strategy. Traditional classifiers are constructed based on labeled data in supervised learning. Labeled data, however, are often difficult, expensive or time consuming to obtain, as they require the efforts of experienced human annotators. Unlabeled data are significantly easier to obtain without human efforts. Thus, we use AdaBoost algorithm with SVM-KNN classifier to apply semisupervised learning problem and improve the classifier performance. Experimental results on both artificial and UCI data sets show that the proposed methodology can reduce the error rate.
