Naive Prezzo - Is it really a naive classifier?

Last evening (20 April 2006), I was at the SQL Server usergroup meeting.

Prior to the meeting, was having a interesting discussion with David, who was sharing with me and Yasmeen how he progressed from being a chemist to doing IT-related work.

The first presentation was by Sukhdev, who shared with the audience on how to build data warehouses, and OLAP functionalities in SQL Server 2000.  My prezzo was on next, and I had a fantastic time sharing with all the key ideas behind Naive Bayes classifier and how this relates to using the Naive Bayes algorithm in doing classification tasks in SQL Server 2005.

Title:
Harnessing the power of Predictive Modeling using Naive Bayes Algorithm

Sypnosis:
In this talk, we will show how we can make use of the Naive Bayes algorithm provided by Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) for use in predictive modeling. We will first get everyone up to speed with basic probability theory, and use this to jumpstart everyone's understanding of the Naive Bayes algorithm. Next, we will demonstrate how to build a data mining model based on Naive Bayes. We will then show how to query the model using DMX.

If anyone is interested in the slide decks, do drop me a beep.
