class NaiveBayesR extends ClassifierReal

The NaiveBayesR class implements a Gaussian Naive Bayes Classifier, which is the most commonly used such classifier for continuous input data. The classifier is trained using a data matrix 'x' and a classification vector 'y'. Each data vector in the matrix is classified into one of 'k' classes numbered 0, ..., k-1. Prior probabilities are calculated based on the population of each class in the training-set. Relative posterior probabilities are computed by multiplying these by values computed using conditional density functions based on the Normal (Gaussian) distribution. The classifier is naive, because it assumes feature independence and therefore simply multiplies the conditional densities. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
