Bayes and Naive Bayes Classifier

Understand

The Bayesian Classification represents a supervised learning method as well as a statistical method for classification.

• Assumes an underlying probabilistic model and it allows us to capture uncertainty about the model in a principled way by determining probabilities of the outcomes.
• This Classification is named after Thomas Bayes (1702-1761), who proposed the Bayes Theorem.
• Bayesian classification provides practical learning algorithms and prior knowledge and observed data can be combined.
