NaiveBayesMultinomial (original) (raw)

Class for building and using a multinomial Naive Bayes classifier. For more information see,

Andrew Mccallum, Kamal Nigam: A Comparison of Event Models for Naive Bayes Text Classification. In: AAAI-98 Workshop on 'Learning for Text Categorization', 1998.

The core equation for this classifier:

P[Ci|D] = (P[D|Ci] x P[Ci]) / P[D] (Bayes rule)

where Ci is class i and D is a document.
