Ball Tree implementation for efficient nearest neighbor search
A Ball Tree is a space-partitioning data structure for organizing points in a k-dimensional space. It divides points into nested hyperspheres, which makes it particularly effective for high-dimensional data.
Advantages of Ball Trees over KD-Trees:
- Better performance in high dimensions
- More efficient for datasets with varying density
- Handles elongated clusters well
This implementation provides:
- Building balanced Ball Trees from point data
- Efficient exact nearest neighbor queries
- k-nearest neighbor searches
- Range queries for all points within a specified radius
