Abstract

Naive Bayes (NB) is an efficient Bayesian classifier with wide range of applications in data classification. Having the advantage with its simple structure. Naive Bayes gains attention among the researchers with its good accuracy in classification result. Nevertheless, the major drawback of Naive Bayes is the strong independence assumption among the features which is restrictive. This weakness causes not only confusion in the causal relationships among the features but also doubtful representation of the real structure of Bayesian Network for classification. Further development of Naive Bayes in augmenting extra links or dependent relationships between the features such as the Tree Augmented Naive Bayes (TAN) end up with slight improvement in accuracy of classification result where the main problems stated above remain unsolved.
