Find 10 most similar data points from 100? I am trying to solve a problem where I need to group battery cells that are most similar to each other to form a reliable battery pack. It seems like a clustering problem but I only need to find the top 10 most similar cells from 100.
Is there any way i can solve this?
That is often called nearest-neighbor search.
The most common methods require a distance metric. Given the features of battery pack, how close to each other are they?
