-----------------------------------
> Add an option for weighted average in k-NN

> Key: MADLIB-1181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1181
> Project: Apache MADlib
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: k-NN
> Reporter: Frank McQuillan
> Assignee: Himanshu Pandey
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: v1.14

> Follow on from
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1059
> (please see this JIRA for additional comments)
> MADlib does a simple average of the k-nearest neighbors to come up with the
> final value for classification and regression. Doing a weighted average
> instead
> might be a desirable functionality. The weighting for the average can be
> based on the
> distance of the k-nearest neighbors.
> We can probably provide an optional parameter to let users choose how the
> final
> score has to be computed (avg or weighted avg).
> This JIRA applies to classification and regression.
