hiddenbayes 0.1.0

A Hidden Naive Bayes library, it will give support to scikit-learn

hiddenbayes

hiddenbayes is a Python library implementing the Hidden Naive Bayes (HNB) model, designed to extend scikit-learn. It provides a simple and efficient way to classify data using a probabilistic approach while incorporating hidden states for better representation of dependencies between features.

Installation

You can install hiddenbayes via pip: pip install hiddenbayes

Yet, you can install it directly from the source: git clone https://github.com/C4RBON0/hiddenbayes.git cd hiddenbayes pip install .

Make sure you have 'numpy' and 'scikit-learn' installed before using hiddenbayes

Usage example

Below is a example demonstrating how to use HiddenNaiveBayes

import numpy as np
from hiddenbayes.hnb import HiddenNaiveBayes

# Sample dataset (binary features)
X_train = np.array([[1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [1, 1, 1], [0, 0, 0]])
y_train = np.array([0, 1, 0, 1])

# Initialize and train the model
model = HiddenNaiveBayes(num_hidden_states=2)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Sample test data
X_test = np.array([[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1]])
predictions = model.predict(X_test)

print("Predictions:", predictions)

Development Setup

git clone https://github.com/C4RBON0/hiddenbayes.git cd hiddenbayes python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt

Run tests to ensure everything is working correctly

python -m unittest discover tests
