prtClassNaiveBayes Naive Bayes Classifier
CLASSIFIER = prtClassNaiveBayes returns a Naive Bayes Classifier.
CLASSIFIER = prtClassFld(PROPERTY1, VALUE1, ...) constructs a
prtClassNaiveBayes object CLASSIFIER with properties as specified by
PROPERTY/VALUE pairs.
A prtClassNaiveBayes object inherits all properties from the abstract class
prtClass. In addition is has the following properties:
baseRv - The base type of random variable to be used in
training the model; baseRv is of type prtRv.
By default baseRv is a prtRvMvn.
A naive Bayes classification algorithm learns a distribution for the
data under each hypothesis and assumes independence between the data
features (columns) to simplify inference.
A prtClassNaiveBayes object inherits the TRAIN, RUN, CROSSVALIDATE and
KFOLDS methods from prtAction. It also inherits the PLOT method from
prtClass.
Example:
TestDataSet = prtDataGenUniModal; % Create some test and
TrainingDataSet = prtDataGenUniModal; % training data
classifier = prtClassNaiveBayes; % Create a classifier
classifier = classifier.train(TrainingDataSet); % Train
classified = run(classifier, TestDataSet); % Test
subplot(2,1,1);
classifier.plot;
subplot(2,1,2);
[pf,pd] = prtScoreRoc(classified,TestDataSet);
h = plot(pf,pd,'linewidth',3);
title('ROC'); xlabel('Pf'); ylabel('Pd');
