AnnoyParam {BiocNeighbors} | R Documentation

## The AnnoyParam class

### Description

A class to hold parameters for the Annoy algorithm for approximate nearest neighbor identification.

### Usage

    AnnoyParam(
      ntrees = 50,
      directory = tempdir(),
      search.mult = ntrees,
      distance = "Euclidean"
    )

### Arguments

`ntrees` | Integer scalar, number of trees to use for index generation.
`directory` | String containing the path to the directory in which to save the index.
`search.mult` | Numeric scalar, multiplier for the number of points to search.
`distance` | String, the distance metric to use.

### Details

The AnnoyParam class holds all parameters associated with running the Annoy algorithm. Most of these parameters are used to build the index - see `buildAnnoy` for details.

Users can get or set values with the usual `[[` syntax. All parameters listed in the constructor can be manipulated in this manner.

### Value

An instance of the AnnoyParam class.
