Week 7 Study Guide

Learning Objectives

  • Probability computations including:marginalization (summing out), conditional probabilities, chain rule, and bayes therom
  • Define conditional independance and the how it simplifiers the number of probabilities needed compared to the full joint distribution
  • Define an algorithm to perform Naïve Bayes and characterize the "naïve" assumption (is it correct? does it work?)
