Bayesian network Classifiers

Description

Structure learning algorithms for Bayesian network classifiers.

Details

The algorithms are aimed at classification, and favour predictive power over the ability to recover the correct network structure. The implementation in bnlearn assumes that all variables, including the classifiers, are discrete.

• Naive Bayes (naive.bayes): a very simple algorithm assuming that all classifiers are independent and using the posterior probability of the target variable for classification.

• Tree-Augmented Naive Bayes (tree.bayes): an improvement over naive Bayes, this algorithms uses Chow-Liu to approximate the dependence structure of the classifiers.
