Introduction

Recall the context diagram presented earlier and reproduced below:

Here, processing starts with training data and testing data. This is properly classified sample data used to test our classification algorithm. The following diagram shows one way to look at a class that contains various training and testing datasets:

Elucidation of class diagram

The illustration above shows a TrainingData class of objects with the attributes of each instance of this class. The TrainingData object gives our sample collection a name and some dates where uploading and testing were completed. For now, it seems like each TrainingData object should have a single tuning parameter, k, used for the $k$-NN classifier algorithm. An instance also includes two lists of individual samples: a training list and a testing list.

Each class of objects is depicted in a rectangle with a number of individual ...
