| 2 | +Gaussian Naive Bayes Classifier |
| 3 | +
|
| 4 | +A probabilistic classifier based on Bayes' theorem with the assumption that |
| 5 | +features follow a Gaussian (normal) distribution within each class. |
| 6 | +
|
| 7 | +Despite its simplicity, Gaussian Naive Bayes performs well on many real-world |
| 8 | +problems, especially when the number of features is large relative to the |
| 9 | +number of training samples. |
| 10 | +
|
| 11 | +How it works: |
| 12 | + 1. Training: Compute the mean and variance of each feature per class, |
| 13 | + and the prior probability of each class. |
| 14 | + 2. Prediction: For each class, compute the log-likelihood of the input |
| 15 | + using the Gaussian probability density function, add the |
| 16 | + log prior, and pick the class with the highest score. |
| 17 | +
|
| 18 | +Bayes' theorem: |
| 19 | + P(class | X) ∝ P(X | class) * P(class) |
| 20 | +
|
| 21 | +Gaussian PDF: |
| 22 | + P(x | mean, var) = exp(-0.5 * ((x - mean)^2 / var)) / sqrt(2 * pi * var) |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | +Time Complexity: O(n * k * d) for training, O(k * d) for prediction |
| 25 | + where n = samples, k = classes, d = features |
| 26 | +
