Error in setting the parameter values of k

I am using mlr3 'fast nearest neighbor' leaner i.e. fnnIts parameter is 'k' which has a default value of 1. When I use tuningusing random search, I set the parameter of k as: lower= 0, upper=3But it gives an error messageError in self$assert(xs) :  Assertion on 'xs' failed: k: Element 1 is not >= 1.I have tried different values but the error remains.Warm regards	[[alternative HTML version deleted]]
I know absolutely nothing about the specific statistical tools being used here, but:? 

In several nearest neighbor routines, the parameter k refers to the number of nearest neighbors to be considered (in some computation).? In that case, k must be at least 1, which is what the cited error message seems to be claiming.? Are you certain that k = 0 is a legitimate setting?

Thank you for your response.

 Are you certain that k = 0 is a legitimate setting?

Since, the default value of k is 1, I wanted to search between the values
of 0 to 3.

Milne, Do you mean I have to provide both the lower and upper bounds
greater than 1 in order to get rid of this error?

Likely, yes. Your error message says k must be at least 1, so searching
below 1 is probably your issue.

Also, logically, zero nearest neighbors doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

Thanks a lot, Milne and Patrick.

I am going to change the values, hopefully the error message will disappear.

Warm regards

Hello, I am sorry but after settings the value of C between 1 and 7, I get
the following error message now:

Error in self$assert(xs) :
  Assertion on 'xs' failed: The parameter 'C' can only be set if the
following condition is met 'type <U+2208> {eps-svr, eps-bsvr}'. Instead the
parameter value for 'type' is not set at all. Try setting 'type' to a value
that satisfies the condition.

I have set the parameter values as following:

search_space = paradox::ParamSet$new(
 params = list(paradox::ParamInt$new("C", lower = 1, upper = 7)))
