Naive Bayes
Naive Bayes is a probabilistic classification
technique based on applying Bayes' theorem
with the "naive" assumption of independence
between every pair of features. Despite its
simplicity, Naive Bayes can be surprisingly
accurate and is particularly suitable for large
datasets.

Types of Naive Bayes models

Gaussian: Assumes that continuous
features follow a normal distribution.

Multinomial: Suitable for discrete data such

as text data.

Bernoulli: Suitable for binary/boolean

features.
Let’s see how to implement Naive
Bayes in Python
The above code demonstrates a basic application of the Gaussian Naive Bayes
algorithm on the Iris dataset. Given the assumption of a normal distribution of
features, it predicts the class of flowers based on sepal and petal measurements.

The key strength of Naive Bayes is its simplicity, which not only makes it highly
interpretable but also fast for prediction.

However, the 'naive' assumption can be a limitation, especially if the features have
relationships between them.
