This parameter exerts a\u0000direct impact on several properties of the classifier, such as the\u0000bias-variance tradeoff, smoothness of decision boundaries, robustness to noise,\u0000and class imbalance handling. In the present paper, we introduce a new adaptive\u0000$k$-nearest neighbours ($kK$-NN) algorithm that explores the local curvature at\u0000a sample to adaptively defining the neighborhood size. The rationale is that\u0000points with low curvature could have larger neighborhoods (locally, the tangent\u0000space approximates well the underlying data shape), whereas points with high\u0000curvature could have smaller neighborhoods (locally, the tangent space is a\u0000loose approximation). We estimate the local Gaussian curvature by computing an\u0000approximation to the local shape operator in terms of the local covariance\u0000matrix as well as the local Hessian matrix. Results on many real-world datasets\u0000indicate that the new $kK$-NN algorithm yields superior balanced accuracy\u0000compared to the established $k$-NN method and also another adaptive $k$-NN\u0000algorithm.

To handle the erroneous measurement, an\u0000additional base receiver with a known position is often used to compensate for\u0000the effect of ephemeris error when positioning the user terminal (UT). However,\u0000this approach is insufficient for the long baseline (the distance between the\u0000base receiver and UT) as it fails to adequately correct Doppler shift\u0000measurement errors caused by ephemeris inaccuracies, resulting in degraded\u0000positioning performance. Moreover, the lack of clock synchronization between\u0000the base receiver and UT exacerbates erroneous Doppler shift measurements. To\u0000address these challenges, we put forth a robust double-difference Doppler\u0000shift-based positioning framework, coined 3DPose, to handle the clock\u0000synchronization issue between the base receiver and UT, and positioning\u0000degradation due to the long baseline. The proposed 3DPose framework leverages\u0000double-difference Doppler shift measurements to eliminate the clock\u0000synchronization issue and incorporates a novel ephemeris error correction\u0000algorithm to enhance UT positioning accuracy in case of the long baseline. The\u0000algorithm specifically characterizes and corrects the Doppler shift measurement\u0000errors arising from erroneous ephemeris data, focusing on satellite position\u0000errors in the tangential direction. To validate the effectiveness of the\u0000proposed framework, we conduct comparative analyses across three different\u0000scenarios, contrasting its performance with the existing differential Doppler\u0000positioning method.
