Overview

About

Maintained by Michael ThrunFirst published 2025-11-174 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides a nonparametric, multicore-capable plausible naive Bayes classifier based on Pareto density estimation (PDE). It addresses low-evidence cases through a plausibility correction. To enhance the interpretability of the flexible naive Bayes classifier by revealing its posterior structure and feature-wise, class-specific evidence, posterior probabilities can be visualized as class-wise line plots for one-dimensional data or color-coded Voronoi diagrams for pairwise feature projections, and class-conditional PDE likelihoods as overlaid, mirrored density profiles resembling violin plots. Methodological details are provided by Stier, Q., Hoffmann, J. and Thrun, M. C. (2026) "Classifying with the Fine Structure of Distributions: Leveraging Distributional Information for Robust and Plausible Naive Bayes" DOI:10.3390/make8010013. For multicore computations, the implementation applies the general memory-sharing approach described by Thrun, M. C. and Märte, J. (2026) "memshare: Memory Sharing for Multicore Computation in R with an Application to Feature Selection by Mutual Information using PDE" DOI:10.32614/RJ-2025-043.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("PDEnaiveBayes", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("Mthrun/PDEbayes")

Development version from Mthrun/PDEbayes. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-pdenaivebayes

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-PDEnaiveBayes

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-PDEnaiveBayes

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
