Explanation of Solution
Difference between K-nearest neighbours (KNN) classifier and regression methods
| KNN classifier | KNN regression |
| It is typically used to solve classification problems. | It is used to solve regression problems. |
| It solves the problem by identifying the neighbours and then estimating conditional probability... |
