Summary

This week, we will introduce generative models for classification, with an emphasis on Naive Bayes.

Learning Objectives

After completing this week, you are expected to be able to:

  • Understand the difference between discriminative and generative models.
  • Use Naive Bayes models for the classification task.
  • Use linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for the classification task.
  • Use quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) for the classification task.

Topics

  • Generative Models
