classification - Learning and using augmented Bayes classifiers in python -

i'm trying utilize forest (or tree) augmented bayes classifier (original introduction, learning) in python (preferably python 3, python 2 acceptable), first learning (both construction , parameter learning) , using discrete classification , obtaining probabilities features missing data. (this why discrete classification , naive classifiers not useful me.)

the way info comes in, i'd love utilize incremental learning incomplete data, haven't found doing both of these in literature, construction , parameter learning , inference @ answer.

there seem few separate , unmaintained python packages go in direction, haven't seen moderately recent (for example, expect using pandas these calculations reasonable, openbayes barely uses numpy), , augmented classifiers seem absent have seen.

so, should save me work implementing forest augmented bayes classifier? there implementation of pearl's message passing algorithm in python class, or inappropriate augmented bayes classifier anyway? there readable object-oriented implementation learning , inference of tan bayes classifiers in other language, translated python?

existing packages know of, found inappropriate are

milk, back upwards classification, not bayesian classifiers (and defitinetly need probabilities classification , unspecified features) pebl, construction learning scikit-learn, learns naive bayes classifiers openbayes, has barely changed since ported numarray numpy , documentation negligible. libpgm, claims back upwards different set of things. according main documentation, inference, construction , parameter learning. except there not seem methods exact inference. reverend claims “bayesian classifier”, has negligible documentation, , looking @ source code lead conclusion spam classifier, according robinson's , similar methods, , not bayesian classifier. ebay's bayesian belief networks allows build generic bayesian networks , implements inference on them (both exact , approximate), means can used build tan, there no learning algorithm in there, , way bns built functions means implementing parameter learning more hard might hypothetical different implementation.

i'm afraid there not out-of-the-box implementation of random naive bayes classifier (not aware of) because still academic matters. next paper nowadays method combine rf , nb classifiers (behind paywall) : http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2f978-3-540-74469-6_35

i think should stick scikit-learn, 1 of popular statistical module python (along nltk) , documented.

scikit-learn has random forest module : http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/ensemble.html#forests-of-randomized-trees . there submodule may (i insist of uncertainty) used pipeline towards nb classifier :

randomtreesembedding implements unsupervised transformation of data. using forest of random trees, randomtreesembedding encodes info indices of leaves info point ends in. index encoded in one-of-k manner, leading high dimensional, sparse binary coding. coding can computed efficiently , can used basis other learning tasks. size , sparsity of code can influenced choosing number of trees , maximum depth per tree. each tree in ensemble, coding contains 1 entry of one. size of coding @ n_estimators * 2 ** max_depth, maximum number of leaves in forest.

as neighboring info points more lie within same leaf of tree, transformation performs implicit, non-parametric density estimation.

and of course of study there out-of-core implementation of naive bayes classifier, can used incrementally : http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/naive_bayes.html

discrete naive bayes models can used tackle big scale text classification problems total training set might not fit in memory. handle case both multinomialnb , bernoullinb expose partial_fit method can used incrementally done other classifiers demonstrated in out-of-core classification of text documents.
