Naive Bayes Classifier for Marketing data

[mandeep singh <ma...@oracle.com>]

Hi,

Mahout In Action book says that naive Bayes strongly prefers text-like 
data.
Is it possible or worth to run naive bayes classifier on the marketing 
data in the following format, also mentioned in the book:
Data has these fields: age gender typeId colorId price discount 
offerTime purchaseDelay purchased
Similar data formats on which I want to run naive bayes:

Thanks.

Binning refers to the reduction of a continuous variable to a categorical
variable.  This is done by defining intervals which partition all possible
values and testing the continuous variable to see which interval it falls
into.

Why would map-reduce have anything to do with this?

Sorry.
But in defenitive guide i saw binning tags. I dnt know about whether
numerical binning is possible in mapreduce.

Not to be rude, but how would you think you could use binning in a
map-reduce program?

Seriously, what ideas can you come up with for this?  What are the problems
you see?

Mandeep,

I just worked through a similar example using the same data set but using
the logistic regression learner.

In order to use Naive bayes, you would need to convert the continuous
variables to categorical variables by binning.
