Methods that employ a distance function, such as nearest neighbor methods and support vector machines with Gaussian kernels, are particularly sensitive to this.

If each of the features makes an independent contribution to the output, then algorithms based on linear functions ( e. g., linear regression, logistic regression, Support Vector Machines, naive Bayes ) and distance functions ( e. g., nearest neighbor methods, support vector machines with Gaussian kernels ) generally perform well.

Among tourists, Nice is the second most popular French city after Paris, a fact which, combined with the difficulties of land travel at long distance ( partly because of the Alps ), allows it to have the second busiest airport in France in terms of passenger numbers ( close to 10, 000, 000 passengers in 2005 ).

Another place worth mentioning is the small street parallel to the Promenade des Anglais, leading from Nice's downtown, beginning at Place Masséna and running parallel to the promenade in the direction of the airport for a short distance of about 4 blocks.
