      We present an approach for supervised classification, which interprets a training
      set as a complete graph, identifies prototypes in all classes, and computes an
      optimum-path forest rooted at them. The class of a sample in a tree is assumed to be
      the same of its root. A test sample is classified by identifying which tree would
      contain it. We show how to improve performance from the errors on an evaluation set,
      without increasing the training set. The advantages over others approaches are
      demonstrated using several experiments.
