Order the observations so that
$$
\lVert X_{(1)}-x\rVert_\infty\leq\cdots\leq
\lVert X_{(n)}-x\rVert_\infty,
$$
using a fixed or randomized rule for ties. The <L-nearest-neighbour classifier> estimates
$$
\widehat p_k(x)=\frac1L\sum_{\ell=1}^L
\mathbf1_{\{Y_{(\ell)}=k\}},
\qquad k=1,2,
$$
and predicts a class maximizing $\widehat p_k(x)$.
