3.13 The independent model for joint attribute distribution
The independent model assumes that all attributes are independent statistically and can be written by πc=∏kp(αk=1)αck[1−p(αk=1)]1−αck.
The independent model involves K parameters, λ=[p(α1=1),…,p(αK=1)]⊤, where p(αk=1) is the probability of mastering attribute k.
An example
What are the joint probabilities of two attributes in the following table under an independent model?
