Although Bayes's theorem demands a prior that is a probability distribution on the parameter space, the calculus associated with Bayes's theorem sometimes generates sensible procedures from improper ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses a full code sample and screenshots to demonstrate how to create a naive Bayes classification system when the predictor values are numeric, using the C# ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research shows how to predict a person's sex based on their job type, eye color and country of residence. Naive Bayes classification is a classical machine learning ...
