Chapter2 (Classification)

This document is about supervised learning in R using classification with Naive Bayes. It discusses key concepts like estimating probabilities, joint and conditional probabilities, building a Naive Bayes model in R, and making predictions. It also covers understanding the "naivety" of Naive Bayes models, applying Naive Bayes to different types of problems, and preparing various data types for Naive Bayes classification. The document is presented as a course on DataCamp for learning supervised learning in R.

Estimating probability

The probability of A is denoted


P(A)

P(work) = 23 / 40 = 57.5%
P(store) = 4 / 40 = 10.0%
DataCamp Supervised Learning in R: Classification

Joint probability and independent events

The joint probability of events A


and B is denoted P(A and B)

P(work and evening) = 1%


P(work and afternoon) = 20%
DataCamp Supervised Learning in R: Classification

Conditional probability and dependent events

The conditional probability of


events A and B is denoted P(A | B)

P(A | B) = P(A and B) / P(B)


P(work | evening) = 1 / 25 = 4%
P(work | afternoon) = 20 / 25 =
80%
