Concept - Naive Bayes Classifier

(Stub created by chunk 02; chunk 01 (s.21-23) defines it. See the main note Concept - Naive Bayes.)

Bayes rule plus the conditional independence assumption: (chunk 01, s.23).

From chunk 02 (s.31-60)

Per-class word probabilities come from word-count histograms (Concept - Word Likelihood); variant for counts: Concept - Multinomial Naive Bayes; zero counts: Concept - Zero Probability Problem; unseen words: Concept - Out of Vocabulary (OOV).
