for Spam.
In the process of setting up a more effective spam filtering system, I
just noticed that bogofilter, which implements extensions of the (a?)
"Naive Bayes" text classification approach, will dump out R data
frames; the man page suggests how to "integrate" it with R for
verification. (sort of, that is).
Anyway, for those of you looking for silly and perhaps interesting
problems/datasets for your engineering or comp-sci statistics classes,
this one looks quite amusing...
Looks like Eric Raymond knows (about) R -- a script is apparently
included in the source according to the man page, though I couldn't
find it in the Debian package.
best,

It could be interesting to try and figure out what is actually going on there - some of it certainly looks weird, and last time I looked at "Naive Bayes" I got the impression that these people would label anything returning a probability as "Bayesian"... -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
