Hierarchical Empirical-Bayes Naive Bayes: Minimax Smoothing and Calibration with AODE Extension
The Naive Bayes (NB) classifier remains a standard choice for categorical data, yet its widely used smoothing rules, such as Laplace, Lidstone, Krichevsky-Trofimov, and the $m$-estimate, all prescribe a fixed smoothing strength that igno…
