How to increase accuracy in Diabetes Challenge?
Hey @kunaljindal,
78% accuracy is quite okay when working with knn algorithm.
It is very intuitive and non parameterised algo. Also, we don’t have much flexibility for the number of parameters that we can tune in knn only we have choice for K value , Type of distance . One thing you can try is different number of odd values for K. (which I guess you have already done)
But in this dataset knn won’t give better than 78.
If you want higher accuracy you can use other classification algorithms.
I hope this clears your doubt !
