“…It is very efficient with reasonable prediction accuracy [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]. In recent years, there has also been considerable interest in developing variants of NB that weaken the attribute independence assumption in order to further improve the prediction accuracy [6], [7], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30]. For instance, one-dependence estimators (ODEs) [23] such as the tree-augmented naive Bayes (TAN) [16] provide a powerful alternative to NB.…”
