Basic naïve bayes

Before you begin...

Download and install Titus. This article was tested with Titus 0.7.1; newer versions should work with no modification. Python >= 2.6 and < 3.0 is required.

Launch a Python prompt and import the following:

Python 2.7.6
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import titus.prettypfa
>>> from titus.genpy import PFAEngine

The basic form

The model.naive.* library consists of functions that compute log likelihoods of one-dimensional distributions. These must be normalzed and compared to find the class with the most likely distribution for a given input.

pfaDocument = titus.prettypfa.jsonNode('''
types:
  Distribution = record(Distribution,
                        logLikelihoods: array(double),
                        class: string);

input: array(int)
output: string
cells:
  model(array(Distribution)) = []
action:
  var classLL = a.map(model, fcn(dist: Distribution -> double) {
    model.naive.multinomial(input, dist.logLikelihoods)
  });
  var norm = a.logsumexp(classLL);
  var index = a.argmax(a.map(classLL, fcn(x: double -> double) m.exp(x - norm)));
  model[index, "class"]
''')

Producing a model

model = [
    {"logLikelihoods": [0.05,     0.35,     0.2,      0.4],      "class": "A"},
    {"logLikelihoods": [0.444445, 0.444445, 0.055556, 0.055556], "class": "B"},
    {"logLikelihoods": [0.05,     0.05,     0.45,     0.45],     "class": "C"}
    ]

Insert the model into PFA

pfaDocument["cells"]["model"]["init"] = model

Test it!

engine, = PFAEngine.fromJson(pfaDocument)

data = [[0, 3, 0, 3],
        [0, 1, 2, 1],
        [1, 3, 2, 4],
        [4, 3, 1, 0],
        [4, 5, 0, 1],
        [1, 0, 5, 4],
        [0, 1, 4, 5]]
y = ["A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "C", "C"]

for i in range(len(data)):
    print "{0} vs {1}".format(engine.action(data[i]), y[i])
