    Naive Bayes classification is a simple probabilistic classifier based on applying Bayes' theorem with strong (naive) independence assumptions. It calculates the probability of a document belonging to a certain class based on the presence of words and can be used to determine the probability that an email is spam based on whether it contains words like "Viagra", "Unsubscribe", "Money", or "Groceries". The naive Bayes algorithm uses the Laplace estimator to smooth probabilities for numeric attributes.
