CKNNRLD - Clustering-Based K-Nearest Neighbor Regression for Longitudinal Data

Implements the 'CKNNRLD' algorithm (Clustering-Based K-Nearest Neighbor Regression for Longitudinal Data) for improving K-Nearest Neighbor ('KNN') regression on longitudinal data through cluster-based partitioning and localized prediction. Offers enhanced computational efficiency and accuracy for high-volume longitudinal datasets. The clustering is performed using the 'latrend' package, which provides a unified interface for various longitudinal clustering methods including 'KML' (K-Means for Longitudinal data). The acronym 'KNN' stands for K-Nearest Neighbor. The acronym 'KML' stands for K-Means for Longitudinal data. References: Loeloe MS, Tabatabaei SM, Sefidkar R, Mehrparvar AH, Jambarsang S (2025).
