          weka.classifiers.bayes.NaiveBayes
              weka.classifiers.bayes.NaiveBayesUpdateable

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, UpdateableClassifier, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler

    public class NaiveBayesUpdateable

extends NaiveBayes
implements UpdateableClassifier

Class for a Naive Bayes classifier using estimator classes. This is the updateable version of NaiveBayes.
This classifier will use a default precision of 0.1 for numeric attributes when buildClassifier is called with zero training instances.
For more information on Naive Bayes classifiers, see
George H. John, Pat Langley: Estimating Continuous Distributions in Bayesian Classifiers. In: Eleventh Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, San Mateo, 338-345, 1995.

Valid options are:

     -K
      Use kernel density estimator rather than normal
      distribution for numeric attributes

     -D
      Use supervised discretization to process numeric attributes

     -O
      Display model in old format (good when there are many classes)
