The author of the tutorial would like to thank Dr. Godfried Toussaint and Erin McLeish for their inspiration and support in developing this tutorial for the COMP644 Pattern Recognition course at McGill University.

The author would also like to thank Wan Zhang and Irwin King for the correspondence they provided in regards to their paper on the topic discussed in this tutorial.

Thanks must also go to Chih-Jen Lin and the other developers of LIBSVM -- a tool that integrated seamlessly into the java applet environment; and also to Sergei Savchenko for his webpage and applet exploring editing nearest neighbour rules.
