Naive Bayes Classification Learner

Naive Bayes classification. Calls e1071::naiveBayes() from package e1071.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("classif.naive_bayes")
lrn("classif.naive_bayes")
