Decision Boundaries<br />

For 1-nearest neighbor, the predictor space is partitioned in<br />

regions of points that are closest to a given data point:<br />

with<br />

region D (x 1 ), region D (x 2 ), . . . , region D (x n )<br />

region D (x) := {x ′ ∈ X | d(x ′ , x) ≤ d(x ′ , x ′′ ) ∀(x ′′ , y ′′ ) ∈ D}<br />

These regions often are called cells, the whole partition a<br />

Voronoi tesselation.<br />
