Naive Bayes classification is a machine learning technique that can be used to predict the class of an item based on two or more categorical predictor variables. For example, you might want to predict ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says the main advantage of using Gaussian naive Bayes classification compared to other techniques like decision trees or neural networks is that you don't ...

We propose new nonparametric empirical Bayes methods for high-dimensional classification. Our classifiers are designed to approximate the Bayes classifier in a hypothesized hierarchical model, where ...

In this article Dr Birnbaum and Dr Maxwell describe some methods of classification based on the classical probability formula of Bayes, and on some of its applications suggested by the theory of ...
