Naive Bayes Algorithm

The document discusses Bayesian classifiers which use Bayes' theorem to predict class membership probabilities based on training data. It can learn from large datasets and predict with high accuracy and speed. An example is given of using a Bayesian classifier to predict whether to play tennis based on weather conditions.

Baysian Classifier:

It is statistical classifier. It can predict class membership


probabilities, such as the probability that a given tuple
belongs to a particular class. This is based on Baye’s (18th-
century British mathematician Thomas Bayes) theorem.
It shows high accuracy and speed when it is applied to a
large database.

Example
• Example: Play Tennis

COMP20411 Machine Learning 2


Example
• Learning Phase
Outlook Play=Yes Play=No Temperature Play=Yes Play=No
Sunny 2/9 3/5 Hot 2/9 2/5
Overcast 4/9 0/5 Mild 4/9 2/5
Rain 3/9 2/5 Cool 3/9 1/5

Humidity Play=Yes Play=No Wind Play=Yes Play=No


High 3/9 4/5 Strong 3/9 3/5
Normal 6/9 1/5 Weak 6/9 2/5

P(Play=Yes) = 9/14 P(Play=No) = 5/14

COMP20411 Machine Learning 3


Example
• Test Phase
– Given a new instance,
x’=(Outlook=Sunny, Temperature=Cool, Humidity=High, Wind=Strong)
– Look up tables
P(Outlook=Sunny|Play=Yes) = 2/9 P(Outlook=Sunny|Play=No) = 3/5
P(Temperature=Cool|Play=Yes) = 3/9 P(Temperature=Cool|Play==No) = 1/5
P(Huminity=High|Play=Yes) = 3/9 P(Huminity=High|Play=No) = 4/5
P(Wind=Strong|Play=Yes) = 3/9 P(Wind=Strong|Play=No) = 3/5
P(Play=Yes) = 9/14 P(Play=No) = 5/14

– MAP rule
P(Yes|x’): [P(Sunny|Yes)P(Cool|Yes)P(High|Yes)P(Strong|Yes)]P(Play=Yes) = 0.0053
P(No|x’): [P(Sunny|No) P(Cool|No)P(High|No)P(Strong|No)]P(Play=No) = 0.0206

Given the fact P(Yes|x’) < P(No|x’), we label x’ to be “No”.
