Abstract
Probabilistic models are one of the common approaches for classification. One way to create these models is to form a decomposable model by selecting a set of marginal distributions. Although decomposable models are attractive by having some desirable properties, they would face the over-fitting issue in model-based classification approaches. Considering this issue, we propose a new method for selecting a set of marginal distributions and creating a proper decomposable model while controlling the complexity. The obtained model will be able to capture the interdependencies among different features and can be used for classification. The proposed method is compared with three existing methods namely TAN and Averaged TAN classifiers and t-Cherry algorithm by focusing on internet traffic data. Experimental results show that our obtained model can effectively extract dependencies among features, and hence, its performance as a classifier is superior compared to other three methods.
