CRITERIA Subcommand (NAIVEBAYES command)

The CRITERIA subcommand specifies computational and resource settings for the NAIVEBAYES procedure.

BINS Keyword

The BINS keyword specifies the number of bins to use when dividing the domain of a scale predictor into equal-width bins. A positive integer greater than 1 may be specified. The default is 10.

MEMALLOCATE Keyword

The MEMALLOCATE keyword specifies the maximum amount of memory in megabytes (MB) that the NAIVEBAYES procedure uses to store training data records when computing the average log-likelihood. If the amount of memory that is required to store records is larger, simulated data are used instead.

  • Any number that is greater than or equal to 4 may be specified. Consult your system administrator for the largest value that can be specified on your system. The default is 1024.

TIMER Keyword

The TIMER keyword specifies the maximum number of minutes during which the NAIVEBAYES procedure can run. If the time limit is exceeded, the procedure is terminated and no results are given. Any number that is greater than or equal to 0 may be specified. Specifying 0 turns the timer off completely. The default is 5.
