Classifying The Neighbourhood

Here we're going to look at an application of the k-nearest neighbours (kNN) algorithm to predict whether or not a telescope signal is gamma or hadron radiation using a Kaggle dataset. This is one of the older ones. I've just looked it up and the internet assures me that this was developed in the 1950s. It still works well today. I'll be using the scikit-learn kNN classification model for the example.
