The Naive Bayes technique can be used for binary classification, for example predicting if a person is male or female based on predictors such as age, height, weight, and so on), or for multiclass ...

One of the main obstacles to the routine implementation of Bayesian methods has been the absence of efficient algorithms for carrying out the computational tasks implicit in the Bayesian approach. In ...
