The Naive Bayes classifier technique is based on the Bayesian theorem and is appropriate when the dimensionality of the input is high. Although it appears to be very simple, it is technically better performed than the other classification methods.

Let's take a look at the following example that shows objects in red and blue. As indicated, the objects shown in red represent the set of people who have breast cancer, and the objects shown in blue represent the set of people diagnosed positive for breast cancer. Our task is to be able to label any new data, which in this case is a new person as they emerge that is based on the existing structure or category of objects and identify the group or class that the new data or person belongs to.
In Bayesian, the prior probability is more inclined to be close to the pattern...
