Specifying Prior Probabilities

The CLAS_PRIORS_TABLE_NAME setting specifies the name of a table of prior probabilities to be used in building a Naive Bayes model. Prior probabilities can be used to offset differences in distribution between the build data and the actual population. The priors table must have the columns shown in Table 5-15.
