Learning the Tree Augmented Naive Bayes Classifier from incomplete datasets
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Bayesian network formalism is becoming increasingly popular in many areas such as decision aid or diagnosis, in particular thanks to its inference capabilities, even when data are incomplete. For classification tasks, Naive Bayes and Augmented Naive Bayes classifiers have shown excellent performances. Learning a Naive Bayes classifier from incomplete datasets is not difficult as only parameter learning has to be performed. But there are not many methods to efficiently learn Tree Augmented Naive Bayes classifiers from incomplete datasets. In this paper, we take up the structural em algorithm principle introduced by (Friedman, 1997) to propose an algorithm to answer this question.

A New Hierarchical Redundancy Eliminated Tree Augmented Naive Bayes Classifier for Coping with Gene Ontology-based Features
The Tree Augmented Naı̈ve Bayes classifier is a type of probabilistic graphical model that can represent some feature dependencies. In this work, we propose a Hierarchical Redundancy Eliminated Tree Augmented Naı̈ve Bayes (HRE–TAN) algorithm, which considers removing the hierarchical redundancy during the classifier learning process, when coping with data containing hierarchically structured feat...
متن کاملTractable Bayesian Learning of Tree Augmented Naive Bayes Models
Bayesian classifiers such as Naive Bayes or Tree Augmented Naive Bayes (TAN) have shown excellent performance given their simplicity and heavy underlying independence assumptions. In this paper we introduce a classifier taking as basis the TAN model and taking into account uncertainty in model selection. To do this we introduce decomposable distributions over TANs and show that they allow the e...
متن کاملA New Approach for Text Documents Classification with Invasive Weed Optimization and Naive Bayes Classifier
With the fast increase of the documents, using Text Document Classification (TDC) methods has become a crucial matter. This paper presented a hybrid model of Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) and Naive Bayes (NB) classifier (IWO-NB) for Feature Selection (FS) in order to reduce the big size of features space in TDC. TDC includes different actions such as text processing, feature extraction, form...
متن کاملA Theoretical and Experimental Evaluation of Augmented Bayesian Classifiers
Naive Bayes is a simple Bayesian network classifier with strong independence assumptions among features. This classifier despite its strong independence assumptions, often performs well in practice. It is believed that relaxing the independence assumptions of naive Bayes may improve the performance of the resulting structure. Augmented Bayesian Classifiers relax the independence assumptions of ...
متن کاملIncremental Learning of Tree Augmented Naive Bayes Classifiers
Machine learning has focused a lot of attention at Bayesian classifiers in recent years. It has seen that even Naive Bayes classifier performs well in many cases, it may be improved by introducing some dependency relationships among variables (Augmented Naive Bayes). Naive Bayes is incremental in nature but, up to now, there are no incremental algorithms for learning Augmented classifiers. When...
