> (please see this JIRA for additional comments)
> MADlib does a simple average of the k-nearest neighbors to come up with the
> final value for both classification and regression. Doing a weighted average instead
> might be a desirable functionality. The weighting for the average can be based on the
> distance of the k-nearest neighbors.
> We can probably provide an optional parameter to let users choose how the final
> classification label or regression score has to be computed (avg or weighted avg).
