Two main functionalities are provided. One of them is predicting values with 
    k-nearest neighbors algorithm and the other is optimizing the parameters k and d of the algorithm.
    These are carried out in parallel using multiple threads.

An interactive document on  the topic of K-nearest neighbour (KNN) using 'rmarkdown' and 'shiny' packages. Runtime examples are provided in the package function as well as at  <https://kartikeyabolar.shinyapps.io/KNNShiny/>.

k Nearest Neighbors with variable selection, combine grid search and forward selection to achieve variable selection in order to improve k Nearest Neighbors predictive performance.

Functions to implement K Nearest Neighbor forecasting using a weighted similarity metric tailored to the problem of forecasting univariate time series where recent observations, seasonal patterns, and exogenous predictors are all relevant in predicting future observations of the series in question. For more information on the formulation of this similarity metric please see Trupiano (2021) <arXiv:2112.06266>.

Application of a Known Biomass Production Model (KBPM): (1) the fitting of KBPM to each stock; (2) the estimation of the effects of environmental variability; (3) the retrospective analysis to identify regime shifts; (4) the estimation of forecasts.

The knockoff filter is a general procedure for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR)
  when performing variable selection.
