Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC) is bayesian algorithm that is used to compute the
conditional posterior probabilities of a categorical class variable (Lithofacies)
given independent predictor variables (core and well logs data) using the Bayes
rule.
NBC was adopted here to model the Lithofacies given core analysis and well
logs data from Karpur Dataset:
