8.14 Naive Bayes
The oml.nb class creates a Naive Bayes (NB) model for classification.
The Naive Bayes algorithm is based on conditional probabilities. Naive Bayes looks at the historical data and calculates conditional probabilities for the target values by observing the frequency of attribute values and of combinations of attribute values.
Naive Bayes assumes that each predictor is conditionally independent of the others. (Bayes' Theorem requires that the predictors be independent.)
For information on the oml.nb class attributes and methods, invoke help(oml.nb) or see Oracle Machine Learning for Python API Reference.
Settings for a Naive Bayes Model
The following table lists the settings that apply to NB models.
Table 8-12 Naive Bayes Model Settings
| Setting Name | Setting Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
CLAS_COST_TABLE_NAME |
table_name |
The name of a table that stores a cost matrix for the algorithm to use in building the model. The cost matrix specifies the costs associated with misclassifications. The cost matrix table is user-created. The following are the column requirements for the table.
|
CLAS_MAX_SUP_BINS |
|
Specifies the maximum number of bins for each attribute. The default value is |
|
|
table_name |
The name of a table that stores prior probabilities to offset differences in distribution between the build data and the scoring data. The priors table is user-created. The following are the column requirements for the table.
|
CLAS_WEIGHTS_BALANCED |
|
Indicates whether the algorithm must create a model that balances the target distribution. This setting is most relevant in the presence of rare targets, as balancing the distribution may enable better average accuracy (average of per-class accuracy) instead of overall accuracy (which favors the dominant class). The default value is |
|
|
|
Value of the pairwise threshold for the NB algorithm. The default value is |
|
|
|
Value of the singleton threshold for the NB algorithm. The default value is |
