Function
1. NaiveBayes.predict(_)
2. NaiveBayes.find(_)

Description
1. Returns the estimated labels of one or multiple test instances and the accuracy of the estimates.
2. Returns the labels with their respective probabilities in descending order.

Examples using Iris Data Set

load fisheriris

X = meas;
Y = species;
Xnew = [min(X);mean(X);max(X)];

mdl = NaiveBayes('gaussian');
mdl = mdl.fit(X,Y)
Ypred = mdl.predict(Xnew)

Ypred =

'setosa'
'versicolor'
'virginica'


Ynew = {'versicolor';'versicolor';'virginica'};
accuracy = accuracy_score(Ypred,Ynew)

accuracy =

0.6667
