Abstract

In this work, the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm’s performance was compared across two datasets with various class distributions and sizes. The goal variable, Kolb learning style, and three features—total reading time, total problem-solving time, and total technical demonstration time—were the identical across both datasets. The first dataset had 150 samples with equal class distributions for learning styles that converge, diverge, and assimilate. 306 samples made up the second dataset, which had unbalanced class distributions. The accuracy for the first and second datasets for the KNN algorithm was 86.67% and 98.36%, respectively. The results demonstrated that the KNN algorithm performed well on both datasets. According to the results, the KNN technique can be applied successfully to both balanced and imbalanced datasets, however the class distribution can affect how well the algorithm performs. Consequently, while using the KNN method to their datasets, researchers should carefully analyze the class distribution.
