## Multiedit for k-NN Classifier

### Description

Multiedit for k-NN classifier

### Usage

    multiedit(x, class, k = 1, V = 3, I = 5, trace = TRUE)

### Arguments

`x` | matrix of training set.
`class` | vector of classification of training set.
`k` | number of neighbours used in k-NN.
`V` | divide training set into V parts.
`I` | number of null passes before quitting.
`trace` | logical for statistics at each pass.

### Value

index vector of cases to be retained.
