ABN: A Fast, Greedy Bayesian Network Classifier
نویسنده
چکیده
Adaptive Bayes Network (ABN) is a fast algorithm for constructing Bayesian Network classifiers using Minimum Description Length (MDL) and automatic feature selection. ABN does well in domains where Naive Bayes fares poorly, and in other domains is, within statistical bounds, at least as good a classifier.

Evolving a Bayesian classifier for ECG-based age classification in medical applications
OBJECTIVE: To classify patients by age based upon information extracted from their electro-cardiograms (ECGs). To develop and compare the performance of Bayesian classifiers. METHODS AND MATERIAL: We present a methodology for classifying patients according to statistical features extracted from their ECG signals using a genetically evolved Bayesian network classifier. Continuous signal feature...
متن کاملLearning a Flexible K-Dependence Bayesian Classifier from the Chain Rule of Joint Probability Distribution
As one of the most common types of graphical models, the Bayesian classifier has become an extremely popular approach to dealing with uncertainty and complexity. The scoring functions once proposed and widely used for a Bayesian network are not appropriate for a Bayesian classifier, in which class variable C is considered as a distinguished one. In this paper, we aim to clarify the working mech...
متن کاملabn: an R package for modelling multivariate data using additive Bayesian networks
This vignette describes the R package abn which provides functionality for identifying statistical dependencies in complex multivariate data using additive Bayesian network (ABN) models. This methodology is ideally suited for both univariate one response variable, and multiple explanatory variables and multivariate analysis, where in both cases all statistical dependencies between all variables...
متن کاملInduction of Selective Bayesian Classifiers
In this paper, we examine previous work on the naive Bayesian classifier and review its limitations, which include a sensitivity to correlated features. We respond to this problem by embedding the naive Bayesian induction scheme within an algorithm that carries out a greedy search through the space of features. We hypothesize that this approach will improve asymptotic accuracy in domains that i...
متن کاملLearning Optimal Augmented Bayes Networks
Naive Bayes is a simple Bayesian classifier with strong independence assumptions among the attributes. This classifier, despite its strong independence assumptions, often performs well in practice. It is believed that relaxing the independence assumptions of a naive Bayes classifier may improve the classification accuracy of the resulting structure. While finding an optimal unconstrained Bayesi...
