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.
