Pull Request Overview
This PR adds a comprehensive implementation of the Naive Bayes classification algorithm to the machine learning directory. The implementation includes three variants of Naive Bayes classifiers optimized for different types of data.
- Implements Gaussian, Multinomial, and Bernoulli Naive Bayes variants using R6 classes
- Provides comprehensive examples demonstrating each variant with appropriate datasets
- Includes proper probability calculations with numerical stability considerations

🧠 Naive Bayes Classifier (R Implementation)
Overview
Naive Bayes is a probabilistic machine learning algorithm based on Bayes’ Theorem, assuming that all features are independent given the class.
It’s simple, fast, and works well for classification tasks like text analysis, spam detection, and document categorization.
Algorithm Concept
For a given input ( X = (x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) ), the probability of belonging to a class ( C_k ) is:
[
P(C_k | X) \propto P(C_k) \prod_{i=1}^{n} P(x_i | C_k)
]
The algorithm predicts the class with the highest posterior probability.
Variants Implemented
Gaussian Naive Bayes (GaussianNB)
Multinomial Naive Bayes (MultinomialNB)
Bernoulli Naive Bayes (BernoulliNB)
