Naive Analysis of Variance
نویسنده
چکیده
The Analysis of Variance is often taught in introductory statistics courses, but it is not clear that students really understand the method. This is because the derivation of the test statistic and p-value requires a relatively sophisticated mathematical background which may not be well-remembered or understood. Thus, the essential concept behind the Analysis of Variance can be obscured. On the other hand, it is possible to provide students with a graphical technique that makes the essential concept transparent. The technique discussed in this article can be understood by students with little or no background in probability or statistics. In fact, only the ability to add, subtract, compute averages, and interpret histograms is required.

Weighted Proportional k-Interval Discretization for Naive-Bayes Classifiers
The use of different discretization techniques can be expected to affect the classification bias and variance of naive-Bayes classifiers. We call such an effect discretization bias and variance. Proportional kinterval discretization (PKID) tunes discretization bias and variance by adjusting discretized interval size and number proportional to the number of training instances. Theoretical analys...
متن کاملA Study of AdaBoost with Naive Bayesian Classifiers: Weakness and Improvement
This article investigates boosting naive Bayesian classification. It first shows that boosting does not improve the accuracy of the naive Bayesian classifier as much as we expected in a set of natural domains. By analyzing the reason for boosting’s weakness, we propose to introduce tree structures into naive Bayesian classification to improve the performance of boosting when working with naive ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Semi-naive Bayes Methods in Classification Learning
Numerous techniques have sought to improve the accuracy of Naive Bayes (NB) by alleviating the attribute interdependence problem. This paper summarizes these semi-naive Bayesian methods into two groups: those that apply conventional NB with a new attribute set, and those that alter NB by allowing inter-dependencies between attributes. We review eight typical semi-naive Bayesian learning algorit...
متن کاملLazy Bayesian Rules: A Lazy Semi-Naive Bayesian Learning Technique Competitive to Boosting Decision Trees
Lbr is a lazy semi-naive Bayesian classiier learning technique, designed to alleviate the attribute interdependence problem of naive Bayesian classiication. To classify a test example , it creates a conjunctive rule that selects a most appropriate subset of training examples and induces a local naive Bayesian classiier using this subset. Lbr can signii-cantly improve the performance of the naiv...
متن کاملOn Why Discretization Works for Naive-Bayes Classifiers
We investigate why discretization is effective in naive-Bayes learning. We prove a theorem that identifies particular conditions under which discretization will result in naiveBayes classifiers delivering the same probability estimates as would be obtained if the correct probability density functions were employed. We discuss the factors that might affect naive-Bayes classification error under ...
متن کاملSupervised classification with conditional Gaussian networks: Increasing the structure complexity from naive Bayes
Most of the Bayesian network-based classifiers are usually only able to handle discrete variables. However, most real-world domains involve continuous variables. A common practice to deal with continuous variables is to discretize them, with a subsequent loss of information. This work shows how discrete classifier induction algorithms can be adapted to the conditional Gaussian network paradigm ...
