<h2>
Purpose
</h2>
Forward propagation through a K-nearest-neighbour classifier.

<p><h2>
Synopsis
</h2>
<PRE>

[y, l] = knnfwd(net, x)
</PRE>


<p><h2>
Description
</h2>
<CODE>[y, l] = knnfwd(net, x)</CODE> takes a matrix <CODE>x</CODE>
of input vectors (one vector per row)
 and uses the <CODE>k</CODE>-nearest-neighbour rule on the training data contained
in <CODE>net</CODE> to
produce
a matrix <CODE>y</CODE> of outputs and a matrix <CODE>l</CODE> of classification
labels.
The nearest neighbours are determined using Euclidean distance.
The <CODE>ij</CODE>th entry of <CODE>y</CODE> counts the number of occurrences that
an example from class <CODE>j</CODE> is among the <CODE>k</CODE> closest training
examples to example <CODE>i</CODE> from <CODE>x</CODE>.
The matrix <CODE>l</CODE> contains the predicted class labels
as an index 1..N, not as 1-of-N coding.

<p><h2>
Example
</h2>
<PRE>

net = knn(size(xtrain, 2), size(t_train, 2), 3, xtrain, t_train);
y = knnfwd(net, xtest);
conffig(y, t_test);
</PRE>

Creates a 3 nearest neighbour model <CODE>net</CODE> and then applies it to
the data <CODE>xtest</CODE>.  The results are plotted as a confusion matrix with
<CODE>conffig</CODE>.
