  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, UpdateableClassifier, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler

    public class NaiveBayesMultinomialUpdateable

extends NaiveBayesMultinomial
implements UpdateableClassifier

Class for building and using a multinomial Naive Bayes classifier. For more information see,
Andrew Mccallum, Kamal Nigam: A Comparison of Event Models for Naive Bayes Text Classification. In: AAAI-98 Workshop on 'Learning for Text Categorization', 1998.
The core equation for this classifier:
P[Ci|D] = (P[D|Ci] x P[Ci]) / P[D] (Bayes rule)
where Ci is class i and D is a document.
Incremental version of the algorithm.
