K-nearest neighbors for mushrooms
The Gaussian Naive Bayes classifier did a really good job for being an initial model. Let's now build a new model to compare it against the Naive Bayes.
In this case, the algorithm to use is a 5-nearest neighbors classifier. As the dummy features create a high-dimensional dataset, use the Ball Tree algorithm to make the model faster. Let's see how this model performs!
