	3.8 Naive Bayes
		Naive Bayes is a rule generator based on Bayes's rule of conditional probability.
		Here is a sample execution of the rule generator with gamma ray burst data taken from the MFBMFR 3B catalog, using the attributes Log T90, Log HR321, and Log Fluence as input attributes and the attribute MFBMFR Class as the output attribute.
		Naive Bayes Classifier Class inter: Prior probability = 0.15 log_t90: Normal Distribution.

		The Bayesian chain rule method uses p(w), which is equivalent to f(w) with s set to zero, to get the initial probability estimate for a single token.
		With the Bayes chain rule, from what I've seen, the grey area practically disappears; if a mistake is made, the algorithm leaves almost no room to express doubt.
		This method employes the Bayesian chain rule; it's used in a project called crm114.

	CAUSALITY - Discussion (Asha)
		Bayes rule asserts that if A is relevant to B, then B must be relevant to A, that is, if learning A changes the probability of B then learning B must change the probability of A.
		It is instructive to compare the apparent symmetries of Bayes rule and structural equations with the asymmetry inherent in out conception of causation.
		Although the literature on structural equation models does not explicitly acknowledge this basic interpretation of structural equations -- a puzzling phenomenon that I explain in Section 5.1 -- it is implicit in the conclusions that scientists draw from SEM studies.

		If the Bayes risk is infinite, then the Bayes rule is not defined.
		An admissible rule should be preferred over an inadmissible rule since for any inadmissible rule there is an admissible rule that performs at least as well for all states of nature and betters it for some.
		In classical ( frequentist) decision theory, an admissible decision rule is a rule for making a decision that is better in some sense than other rules that may compete with it.

	AD-trees: Cached Sufficient Statistics for fast Counting and Data Mining queries on Massive Sky Surveys
		Finally, modern data mining operations such as association rule learning, Bayes net structure learning, and decision tree learning all procede by searching among very many conditional correlation matrices to find structures that model interrelationships in the data.
		A Bayes Net [#!frdm:comp!#] is a probabilistic model of the interrelationships between all the fields in a record.
		As an example, we asked the system to find association rules [#!clrk:cn2!#] highly predictive of "class == Galaxy".

	Letter to the Editor, IMS Bulletin.
		Between them, the two papers established the asymptotic optimality (in the sense of Robbins (1951: 2nd Berk.)) of a class of Bayes (and admissible) compound decision rules when the component experiment is a compact Gaussian shift one (in the sense of LeCam (1986), Springer monograph).
		While paper A showed that in the component experiment two Bayes estimators are close if the corresponding priors are, and used that result to reduce the question of asymptotic optimality to the consistency of certain posteriors for the empirical distribution of the parameter sequence, paper B settled the consistency question.
		I submitted two papers, A) Asymptotically optimal and admissible decision rules in compound compact Gaussian shift experiments and B) Posterior consistency in Gaussian shift experiments, to the Annals of Statistics in August and September of 1993, respectively.

	October 14, UCLA Statistics Seminar
		It is known that if a decision rule is Bayes against a prior Pi, then it must also be almost-Pi-admissible.
		We start by presenting a theorem which generalizes this fact and connects it to the stepwise Bayes procedure, which has been used to prove admissibility in finite population sampling.
		We then use this result to prove admissibility of some deision rules in finite population sampling, where we consider two problems:

	Bayes' theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bayes' theorem (also known as Bayes' rule) is a result in probability theory, which relates the conditional and marginal probability distributions of random variables.
		Bayes' theorem is named after the Reverend Thomas Bayes (1702–1761), who studied how to compute a distribution for the parameter of a binomial distribution (to use modern terminology).
		As a formal theorem, Bayes' theorem is valid in all interpretations of probability.

	Bayesian probability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bayesians also hold that Bayes' theorem can be used as the basis for a rule for updating beliefs in the light of new information —such updating is known as Bayesian inference.
		Some schools of thought emphasise Cox's theorem and Jaynes' principle of maximum entropy as cornerstones of the theory, others (e.g., Ramsey, di Finetti) approach it from the point of view of a Dutch book argument, still others may claim that Bayesian methods are more general and give better results in practice than frequency probability.

		And they are named "Bayes" after Reverend Thomas Bayes, 1702-1761, a British theologian and mathematician who wrote down a basic law of probability which is now called Bayes rule.
		Bayes nets may be used in any walk of life where modeling an uncertain reality is involved (and hence probabilities are present), and, in the case of decision nets, wherever it is helpful to make intelligent, justifiable, quantifiable decisions that will maximize the chances of a desirable outcome.
		Bayes nets are easily extended to computing utility, given the degree of knowledge we have on a situation, and so they have become very popular in business and civic decision making as much as in scientific and economic modeling.

		Laplace independently proved a more general version of Bayes' theorem and put it to good use in solving problems in celestial mechanics, medical statistics and, by some accounts, even jurisprudence.
		Similarly, Bayes factors have been employed in discussions of Occam's Razor.

	Bayes' Rule
		Bayes Theorem is commonly ascribed to the Reverent Thomas Bayes (1701-1761) who left one hundred pounds in his will to Richard Price ``now I suppose Preacher at Newington Green.'' Price discovered two unpublished essays among Bayes's papers which he forwarded to the Royal Society.
		Bayes theorem and, in particular, its emphasis on prior probabilities has caused considerable controversy.
		Bayes nets (directed graphical models) are a natural way to represent many hierarchical Bayesian models.

		This is known as Bayes' Theorem, and it can be easily derived through the use of simple statistical identities (in particular, the repeated application of the so-called Multiplication rule: P[A and B]=P[AB]*P[B]).
		In Bayes' Theorem, the numerator counts the points in the intersection, and the denominator sums all the points in Y. The relevance of Bayes' Theorem to the problem of classification will be made clear shortly.
		Since the denominator in Bayes' Theorem is independent of i (and is always nonnegative), the numerator of the most likely Xi will also have the greatest magnitude.

	Bayes Nets tutorial by Joe Tullio
		Historical note: Bayesian networks (and Bayesian probability, for that matter) are named after the Reverend Thomas Bayes (1702-1761), who also gave us Bayes’ rule:
		So, in summary, Bayes nets provide a compact, descriptive means of encoding uncertainty in systems where we have a fair amount of structure, a store of prior knowledge about the system, and some notion of the relative relationships and influences among the system’s variables.
		If you want to get started playing with Bayes nets, there are a number of free packages as well as evaluation editions of commercial packages available for download.

	Naive Bayes classifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The naive Bayes classifier combines this model with a decision rule.
		Naive Bayes classifiers are based on probability models that incorporate strong independence assumptions which often have no bearing in reality, hence are (deliberately) naive.
		The naive Bayes classifier has several properties that make it surprisingly useful in practice, despite the fact that the far-reaching independence assumptions are often violated.

		For complicated probabilistic models, computing the normalizing constant P(e) is computationally intractable, either because there are an exponential number of (discrete) values of R to sum over, or because the integral over R cannot be solved in closed form (e.g., if R is a high-dimensional vector).

		However, if we further assume that P(Y) > 0, then it does (you'll see why if you try to prove the statement using Bayes' rule).
		In most Bayes nets we write, we will deal with events or states that are possible (those that aren't possible are not very interesting, and they're not very hard to model anyway), so (1) and (2) will usually be equivalent.
		However, we generally state CI assuptions using the stronger form (2) (i.e., we'll write P(XY,Z) = P(XZ) when we say that X is independent of Y given Z) so this whole discussion has no impact on our treatment of Bayes nets.
