Transition Plan for Learning Management System to PGVLE
In this plan presented by Shazia Hoodbhoy, the transfer of a Learning Management System to PGVLE is outlined from confirmation of support to onboarding new learners. The timeline spans from October 2024 to November 2025, covering key activities such as contract extensions, content review, training development, and establishing governance structures. The plan focuses on ensuring a smooth transition with continuous support for administrators, educators, and learners throughout the process.

Presentation 13 Na ve Bayes Classifier Chapter 8 in SPB
Basis of Nave Bayes Classifier: Bayes Theorem The Na ve Bayes classifier is a classification method based on Bayes Theorem. Let ??denote that an output belongs to the j-th class, ? = 1,2, ,?, out of J possible classes. Let ? ???1,?2, ,??) denote the (posterior) probability of belonging in the j-th class given the individual characteristics ?1,?2, ,??. Furthermore, let denote the probability of a case with individual characteristics ?1,?2, ,??belonging to the j-th class and ?(??) denote the unconditional (i.e. without regard to individual characteristics) prior probability of belonging to the j-th class. For a total of J classes, Bayes theorem gives us the following probability rule for calculating the case-specific probability of falling into the j-th class: = + + where ( , , , | ) ( ) ( , , , | ) ( ) Denom P X X X C P C P X X X C P C 1 2 1 1 1 2 p p J J
The Nave Independence Assumption = . ( , , , | ) ( | ) ( | ) ( | ) P X X X C P X C P X C P X C 1 2 1 2 p j j j p j This assumption states that the joint probability of a specific case being in Class j is (naively) equal to the product of the individual probabilities of each individual characteristic being in Class j. This simplifies the computations of the Class probabilities of cases and helps prevent class probabilities from predominately being singular (i.e. either zero or one) across a majority of the cases. Then, in the independent case, the terms on the right-hand-side of the above equation can be calculated simply as the relative frequencies of the individual ?? s in Class ??. For example, the training data set could be used to calculate the relative frequency = ) j [(# of iX in jC )/(total # of cases in jC )] ( | P X iC
Two Ways of Calculating the Prior Class Probabilities ?(??)
