Bayesian Model for Random Forest Classification Using Python

A Bayesian model for Random Forest classification uses Bayes' theorem to update the probability of hypotheses as new evidence is obtained. It combines prior knowledge with new data to form an updated belief called the posterior distribution. Bayesian models provide benefits like uncertainty quantification, dynamic updating, and flexibility in classification tasks. For example, when classifying objects as apples or not, the likelihood of certain features, such as being red or small, helps the model refine its predictions. In Random Forest classification, a Naive Bayes classifier can be used to predict class probabilities based on features, with continuous updates as new data is introduced. The model uses training data to calculate likelihoods and update prior probabilities, which adjust with each new observation. In this case, the Iris dataset was used to demonstrate Bayesian classification, achieving high accuracy and precision in predictions. The decision boundary and confusion matrix help interpret how the model classifies data and where it may need improvement. Bayesian models offer an advantage over traditional models by continuously refining predictions as data evolves, ensuring adaptability and interpretability. This approach is particularly useful for tasks where class labels and features can change over time, providing flexibility for ongoing learning.
