A novel method for minimizing loss of accuracy in Naive Bayes classifier

In Data Mining classification plays prominent role in predicting outcomes. One of the best supervised classification techniques in Data Mining is Naive Bayes Classification. Naive Bayes Classification is good at predicting outcomes and often outperforms other classification techniques. One of the reasons behind the strong performance of Naive Bayes Classification is due to the assumption of conditional Independence among predictors. However, this very strong assumption leads to loss of accuracy. In this paper, the authors are proposing a novel method for improving accuracy in Naive Bayes Classifier. The proposed novel technique used in NBC gave better accuracy even with Conditional Independence.
