ve Bayes Classifier
Basics of Probability Theory
Bayes Theorem
Bayes theorem presents the statistical principle for answering questions like the previous one, where evidence from multiple sources has to be combined with prior beliefs to arrive at predictions. Bayes theorem can be briefly described as follows.
Classification
Class conditional
Generative classification
