ee.Classifier.smileNaiveBayes
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Creates an empty Naive Bayes classifier. This classifier assumes that the feature vector consists of positive integers, and negative inputs are discarded.
Usage | Returns | ee.Classifier.smileNaiveBayes(lambda) | Classifier |
Argument | Type | Details | lambda | Float, default: 0.000001 | A smoothing lambda. Used to avoid assigning zero probability to classes not seen during training, instead using lambda / (lambda * nFeatures). |
