Is there a function that returns a Bayes Model?

I used the function fitcnb to get a Naive Bayes Classifier but I need to get also a Bayes Classifier (which is the naive without the indipendence hyphotesis). Is there a function, similar to fitcnb, that returns a Bayes Model?

Hello Marianna,

Unfortunately, MATLAB does not provide a direct built-in function for fitting a full Bayesian classifier that models dependencies between features in the same way as “fitcnb” does for Naive Bayes.

You can implement you own custom Bayesian Classifier or use the third-party toolbox, Bayes Net Toolbox. However, note that the Bayes Net Toolbox is not part of the official MATLAB toolboxes and MathWorks does not extend support for this.
