Nearest-neighbor classification with categorical variables CRAN Task View: Multivariate (http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Multivariate) This program scales categorical variables in such a way as to make NN classification as accurate as possible. It also handles continuous variables and prior probabilities, and does intelligent variable selection and estimation of error rates and the right number of NN's.
