This task applies Bayes theorem with a strong assumption that all the predictors are independent to each other; i.e., the presence of a feature in a class is independent to the presence of any other feature in the same class.

For background on the algorithm used, see Naive Bayes Classification.

Example

; Start the application
e = ENVI()
 
; Open an input raster file
RasterFile = Filepath('qb_boulder_msi', Subdir=['data'], $
  Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)
Raster = e.OpenRaster(RasterFile)
 
; Open an input ROI file
ROIFile = Filepath('qb_boulder_roi.xml', Subdir=['data'], $
Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)
ROI = e.OpenROI(ROIFile)
 
; Get the statistics task from the catalog of ENVITasks
StatsTask = ENVITask('NormalizationStatistics')
 
; Define inputs
StatsTask.INPUT_RASTERS = Raster
 
; Run the task
StatsTask.Execute
 
; Get the data prep task from the catalog of ENVITasks
DataPrepTask = ENVITask('MLTrainingDataFromROIs')
 
; Define inputs
DataPrepTask.INPUT_RASTER = Raster
DataPrepTask.INPUT_ROI = ROI
DataPrepTask.BACKGROUND_LABELS = ['Disturbed Earth', 'Water']
DataPrepTask.NORMALIZE_MIN_MAX = StatsTask.Normalization
DataPrepTask.Execute
 
; Get the training task from the catalog of ENVITasks
TrainTask = ENVITask('TrainNaiveBayes')
 
; Define inputs
TrainTask.INPUT_RASTER = DataPrepTask.OUTPUT_RASTER
 
; Run the task
TrainTask.Execute
 
; Output model metadata
outputModelUri = TrainTask.OUTPUT_MODEL_URI
print, 'Model URI: ' + outputModelUri
 
outputModel = TrainTask.OUTPUT_MODEL
print, outputModel.Attributes, /IMPLIED

Syntax

Result = ENVITask('TrainNaiveBayes')

Input properties (Set, Get): BALANCE_CLASSES, INPUT_RASTERS, MODEL_NAME, MODEL_DESCRIPTION, OUTPUT_MODEL_URI

Output properties (Get only): OUTPUT_MODEL

Properties marked as "Set" are those that you can set to specific values. You can also retrieve their current values any time. Properties marked as "Get" are those whose values you can retrieve but not set.

DESCRIPTION

DISPLAY_NAME

NAME

REVISION

See the ENVITask topic in ENVI Help for details.

This task also contains the following properties:

BALANCE_CLASSES (optional)

Specify whether all classes should be considered equal during training. This helps to account for classes with few samples compared to classes with many examples.

INPUT_RASTERS (required)

Specify one or more preprocessed training rasters to be used for training.

MODEL_NAME (optional)

Specify the name of the model. The default is Naïve Bayes Supervised Classifier.

MODEL_DESCRIPTION (optional)

Specify the purpose of the model.

OUTPUT_MODEL (required)

This is a reference to the output model file.

OUTPUT_MODEL_URI (optional)

Specify a string with the fully qualified filename and path of the associated OUTPUT_MODEL. If you do not specify this property, or set it to an exclamation symbol (!), a temporary file will be created.
