- irahul 15y agoMy bad. Regarding stronger assumptions, is there anything other than independence(thus the name naive) that it assumes?
- tensor 15y agoThat's the main assumption that people care about. In contrast, logistic regression (aka maximum entropy) does not make this assumption. As a go-to first classifier I would suggest multi-class logistic regression with regularization.
