Explain how weighting the contributions of the neighbors can improve the KNN algorithm's performance.
- Allows more influence from nearer neighbors
- Improves sensitivity to outliers
- Increases bias
- Reduces complexity
Weighting the contributions of the neighbors allows nearer neighbors to have more influence on the prediction, often leading to improved performance in KNN.
