Bayesian Naive Bayes/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Naive Bayes

Bayesian Naive Bayes applies a fully Bayesian treatment to the parameters of the classic Naive Bayes classifier: instead of estimating class-conditional distributions by maximum likelihood, it places conjugate priors (typically Dirichlet for categorical data or Gaussian-Gamma for continuous data) over the parameters and integrates them out, producing predictive posterior distributions that naturally quantify uncertainty and avoid overfitting on small datasets.
