R User Forum Is there a better way than grabbing individual cell values from a model output to make predictions. For example the output from the following Na?ve Bayes model library(e1071) ## Example of using a contingency table: data(Titanic) m <- naiveBayes(Survived ~ ., data = Titanic) m will produce the following results: Call: naiveBayes.formula(formula = Survived ~ ., data = Titanic) A-priori probabilities: Survived No Yes 0.676965 0.323035 Conditional probabilities: Class Survived 1st 2nd 3rd Crew No 0.08187919 0.11208054 0.35436242 0.45167785 Yes 0.28551336 0.16596343 0.25035162 0.29817159 Sex Survived Male Female No 0.91543624 0.08456376 Yes 0.51617440 0.48382560 Age Survived Child Adult No 0.03489933 0.96510067 Yes 0.08016878 0.91983122 Say I want to calculate the probability of P(survival = No | Class = 1st, Sex = Male, and Age= Child). While I can set an object (e.g. myObj <- m$tables$Class[1,1]) to the respective cell and perform the calculation, there must be a better way, as I continue to learn R. Jeff
The standard approach for prediction is via a predict() method for the class of the model fit. So, have you checked ?predict.naiveBayes If this does not satisfy your needs, you are on your own. Possibly your best course of action then is to contact the maintainer as the posting guide (linked below) recommends for "non-standard" packages.

Hello, Are you looking for this? newd <- data.frame( Class = '1st', Sex = 'Male', Age = 'Child' ) predict(m, newdata = newd, type = 'raw') # No Yes #[1,] 0.3169345 0.6830655 With the default type = 'class' the result is predict(m, newdata = newd) #[1] Yes #Levels: No Yes Hope this helps, Rui Barradas ?s 14:42 de 27/02/21, Jeff Reichman escreveu:> R User Forum > > Is there a better way than grabbing individual cell values from a model > output to make predictions.

Rui Actually yes. I was able to work this into my shiny app this afternoon.
