The main novelty of this article lies on the optimization process of voting regardless of the distance of every neighbour. The calculated real-valued vector through the evolutionary process can be seen as the relative contribution of every neighbour to select the label of an unclassified example. We have tested our approach on 30 datasets of the UCI repository and results have been compared with those obtained from other 6 variants of the kNN predictor, resulting in a realistic improvement statistically supported.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/kNN votingevolutionary computationfuzzy kNNinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07617-1_27https://idus.us.es/xmlui/handle/11441/42730
