title: 'BiocNeighbors: Nearest Neighbor Detection for Bioconductor Packages'
version: 2.6.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.BiocNeighbors
abstract: Implements exact and approximate methods for nearest neighbor detection,
  in a framework that allows them to be easily switched within Bioconductor packages
  or workflows. Exact searches can be performed using the k-means for k-nearest neighbors
  algorithm, vantage point trees, or an exhaustive search. Approximate searches can
  be performed using the Annoy or HNSW libraries. Each search can be performed with
  a variety of different distance metrics, parallelization, and variable numbers of
  neighbors. Range-based searches (to find all neighbors within a certain distance)
  are also supported.
