Abstract

Lazy Bayesian Rules modify naive Bayesian classification to undo elements of the harmful attribute independence assumption. It has been shown to provide classification error comparable to boosting decision trees. This paper explores alternatives to the candidate elimination criterion employed within Lazy Bayesian Rules. Improvements over naive Bayes are consistent so long as the candidate elimination criteria ensures there is sufficient data for accurate probability estimation. However, the original candidate elimination criterion is demonstrated to provide better overall error reduction than the use of a minimum data subset size criterion.
