IV. ALGORITHMS USED IN PROPOSED SYSTEM

A. Naive Bayes Algorithm

The Naive Bayes Classifier technique is based on

Bayesian theorem. Despite its simplicity, Naive Bayes can
often outperform more sophisticated classification methods.
In Naive Bayes, you make the assumption that the variables
are independent (even if they are actually not).The attributes
related to agriculture and weather condition are taken into
consideration for prediction of crop yield in the particular
soil and atmosphere.

Steps in Bayesian algorithm

 Identify the tuples with attributes in the datasets.

 Calculate the probabilities of decisive attribute along
with other attributes and make predictions.
 The classifier will predict the particular attributes
needed with the Bayesian theorem.
 In result, success and failure rates of all crops will be
displayed. More the success rate, more the crop would E. Advantages of SIFT
