朴素贝叶斯分类器（Naive Bayes）

1. 贝叶斯定理

如果有两个事件，事件A和事件B。已知事件A发生的概率为p(A)，事件B发生的概率为P(B)，事件A发生的前提下。事件B发生的概率为p(B|A)，事件B发生的前提下。事件A发生的概率为p(A|B)，事件A和事件B同一时候发生的概率是p(AB)。则有

p(AB)=p(A)p(B|A)=p(B)p(A|B)(1)

依据式(1)能够推出贝叶斯定理为

p(B|A)=p(B)p(A|B)p(A)(2)

给定一个全集{B1,B1,…,Bn}，当中Bi与Bj是不相交的，即BiBj=∅。则依据全概率公式。对于一个事件A。会有

p(A)=∑i=1np(Bi)p(A|Bi)(3)

则广义的贝叶斯定理有

p(Bi|A)=p(Bi)p(A|Bi)∑ni=1p(Bi)p(A|Bi)(4)

2. 朴素贝叶斯基本原理

给定一组训练数据集{(X1,y1),(X2,y2),(X3,y3),…,(Xm,ym)}。当中，m是样本的个数。每个数据集包括着n个特征，即Xi=(xi1,xi2,…,xin)。类标记集合为{y1,y2,…,yk}。设p(y=yi|X=x)表示输入的X样本为x时，输出的y为yk的概率。

如果如今给定一个新的样本x。要推断其属于哪一类，可分别求解p(y=y1|x)，p(y=y2|x)，p(y=y3|x)，…，p(y=yk|x)的值。哪一个值最大，就属于那一类。即，求解最大的后验概率 argmaxp(y|x)。

那怎样求解出这些后验概率呢？依据贝叶斯定理。有

p(y=yi|x)=p(yi)p(x|yi)p(x)(5)

一般地，朴素贝叶斯方法如果各个特征之间是相互独立的，则式(5)能够写成：

p(y=yi|x)=p(yi)p(x|yi)p(x)=p(yi)∏nj=1p(xj|yi)∏nj=1p(xj)(6)

由于(6)式的分母。对于每个p(y=yi|x)求解都是一样的。所以，在实际操作中。能够省略掉。终于。朴素贝叶斯分类器的判别公式变成例如以下的形式：

y=argmaxyip(yi)p(x|yi)=argmaxyip(yi)∏j=1np(xj|yi)(7)

以下，是怎样通过样本对 p(y) 和 p(x|y) 进行概率预计。

3. 朴素贝叶斯法的參数预计

3.1 极大似然预计

在朴素贝叶斯法中，学习就是意味着预计先验概率p(y) 和条件概率 p(x|y)。然后依据先验概率和条件概率，去计算新的样本的后验概率 p(y|x)。

当中，预计先验概率和条件概率的方法有非常多，比方极大似然预计，多项式。高斯。伯努利等。

当中，在极大似然预计中，先验概率p(y)的极大似然预计例如以下：

p(y=yi)=样本中yi标签的个数总样本的个数(8)

如果输入样本的第j的特征中全部可能取值的集合是 {aj1,aj2,…,ajsj}。则条件概率p(x(j)|y=yi)的极大似然预计例如以下：

p(x(j)=ajl|y=yi)=在属于yi标签的样本中，第j个特征值等于ajl的个数样本中属于yi标签的个数(9)

样例1

该样例来自李航的《统计学习方法》。

表中X(1)和X(2)为特征，取值的集合各自是A1={1,2,3}，A2={S,M,L}。Y为类标记，Y=1,−1。

试求。x=(2,S)的类标记。

数据例如以下所看到的。当中，特征X(2)的取值{S,M,L}分别表示成{0,1,2}。

import numpy as np

import pandas as pd

x1 = np.array([1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3])

x2 = np.array([0,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,2,2])

y = np.array([-1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,-1])

dataSet = np.concatenate((x1[:,None],x2[:,None],y[:,None]),axis=1)

df = pd.DataFrame(dataSet,index=np.arange(1,16,1),columns=['X1','X2','y'])

df.T

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15
X1	1	1	1	1	1	2	2	2	2	2	3	3	3	3	3
X2	0	1	1	0	0	0	1	1	2	2	2	1	1	2	2
y	-1	-1	1	1	-1	-1	-1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	-1

求解

step1: 求解先验概率

p(y=−1)=615，p(y=1)=915

step2 求解条件概率

(2.1) 特征X1

p(X1=1|y=−1)=36=12。p(X1=2|y=−1)=26=13， p(X1=3|y=−1)=16

p(X1=1|y=1)=29，p(X1=2|y=1)=39=13， p(X1=3|y=1)=49

(2.2) 特征X1

p(X2=0|y=−1)=36=12，p(X2=1|y=−1)=26=13。 p(X2=2|y=−1)=16

p(X2=0|y=1)=19，p(X2=1|y=1)=49=。 p(X2=2|y=1)=49

由于 115>145，所以该样本的类标记为 −1

例如以下是python的极大似然预计的朴素贝叶斯代码，代码执行结果跟求解一致。

3.2 Multinomial Naive Bayes

用极大似然预计可能会出现所要预计的概率值为0的情况。

这时会影响到后验概率的计算结果，使分类产生偏差。这时。能够採用多项式模型，对先验概率和条件概率做一些平滑处理。详细公式为：

先验概率p(y)的预计例如以下：

p(y=yi)=样本中yi标签的个数+α样本的总个数+总的类别个数×α(10)

如果输入样本的第j个特征的全部可能取值的集合是 {aj1,aj2,…,ajsj}。则条件概率p(x(j)|y=yi)的预计例如以下：

p(x(j)|y=yi)=在属于yi标签的样本中,第j个特征值等于ajl的个数+α属于yi标签的个数+第j个特征的唯一值个数×α(11)

当中。α是平滑值。当α=1时，是拉普拉斯平滑（Laplace smoothing），当α=0时，退化到极大似然预计。当0<α<1时，称作Lidstone平滑。

有个疑问：多项式朴素贝叶斯与李航《统计学习方法》中说的贝叶斯预计有啥差别？本文的方法是參考李航的贝叶斯预计。

高斯模型如果特征服从高斯分布。

3.4 Bernoulli Naive Bayes

5. Naive Bayes 注意事项

Works only with categorical predictors, numerical predictors must be categorized or binned before use
Works with the assumption of predictor independence, and thus cannot detect or account for relationships between the predictors, unlike a decision tree for example.
