Dimensionality reduction is useful for improving the performance of Bayesian networks. In this paper we suggest an effective method of modeling categorical and numerical variables of the mixed data with different Bayesian classifiers. Such an approach reduces output sensitivity to input changes by applying feature extraction and selection, and empirical studies on UCI benchmarking data show that our approach has clear advantages with respect to the classification accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
