ml_naive_bayes: Spark ML -- Naive-Bayes

Description

Naive Bayes Classifiers. It supports Multinomial NB (see here) which can handle finitely supported discrete data. For example, by converting documents into TF-IDF vectors, it can be used for document classification. By making every vector a binary (0/1) data, it can also be used as Bernoulli NB (see here). The input feature values must be nonnegative.

Usage

ml_naive_bayes(
  x,
  formula = NULL,
  model_type = "multinomial",
  smoothing = 1,
  thresholds = NULL,
  weight_col = NULL,
  features_col = "features",
  label_col = "label",
  prediction_col = "prediction",
  probability_col = "probability",
  raw_prediction_col = "rawPrediction",
  uid = random_string("naive_bayes_"),
  ...
)

Value

The object returned depends on the class of x. If it is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_estimator object. If it is a ml_pipeline, it will return a pipeline with the predictor appended to it. If a tbl_spark, it will return a tbl_spark with the predictions added to it.

Arguments

x

A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.

formula

Used when x is a tbl_spark. R formula as a character string or a formula. This is used to transform the input dataframe before fitting, see ft_r_formula for details.

model_type

The model type. Supported options: "multinomial" and "bernoulli". (default = multinomial)

smoothing

The (Laplace) smoothing parameter. Defaults to 1.

thresholds

Thresholds in multi-class classification to adjust the probability of predicting each class. Array must have length equal to the number of classes, with values > 0 excepting that at most one value may be 0. The class with largest value p/t is predicted, where p is the original probability of that class and t is the class's threshold.

weight_col

(Spark 2.1.0+) Weight column name. If this is not set or empty, we treat all instance weights as 1.0.

features_col

Features column name, as a length-one character vector. The column should be single vector column of numeric values. Usually this column is output by ft_r_formula.

label_col

Label column name. The column should be a numeric column. Usually this column is output by ft_r_formula.

prediction_col

Prediction column name.

probability_col

Column name for predicted class conditional probabilities.

raw_prediction_col

Raw prediction (a.k.a. confidence) column name.

uid

A character string used to uniquely identify the ML estimator.

...

Optional arguments; see Details.
