R Documentation

Naive Bayes Models

Description

spark.naiveBayes fits a Bernoulli naive Bayes model against a SparkDataFrame. Users can call summary to print a summary of the fitted model, predict to make predictions on new data, and write.ml/read.ml to save/load fitted models. Only categorical data is supported.

Usage

spark.naiveBayes(data, formula, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SparkDataFrame,formula'
spark.naiveBayes(data, formula,
  smoothing = 1, handleInvalid = c("error", "keep", "skip"))

## S4 method for signature 'NaiveBayesModel'
summary(object)

## S4 method for signature 'NaiveBayesModel'
predict(object, newData)

## S4 method for signature 'NaiveBayesModel,character'
write.ml(object, path,
  overwrite = FALSE)

Arguments

`data`	a `SparkDataFrame` of observations and labels for model fitting.
`formula`	a symbolic description of the model to be fitted. Currently only a few formula operators are supported, including '~', '.', ':', '+', and '-'.
`...`	additional argument(s) passed to the method. Currently only `smoothing`.
`smoothing`	smoothing parameter.
`handleInvalid`	How to handle invalid data (unseen labels or NULL values) in features and label column of string type. Supported options: "skip" (filter out rows with invalid data), "error" (throw an error), "keep" (put invalid data in a special additional bucket, at index numLabels). Default is "error".
`object`	a naive Bayes model fitted by `spark.naiveBayes`.
`newData`	a SparkDataFrame for testing.
`path`	the directory where the model is saved.
`overwrite`	overwrites or not if the output path already exists. Default is FALSE which means throw exception if the output path exists.

Value

spark.naiveBayes returns a fitted naive Bayes model.

summary returns summary information of the fitted model, which is a list. The list includes apriori (the label distribution) and tables (conditional probabilities given the target label).

predict returns a SparkDataFrame containing predicted labeled in a column named "prediction".
