Is the Naive Bayes Classifier implementation in NLTK a bernoulli Naive Bayes or a Multinomial Naive Bayes?

[grak...@ucsc.edu]

For the document classification task, I have used boolean features (presence or absence of words) and counts of words, and both seem to work.

I am not clear if the implementation of the Naive Bayes classifier in NLTK is a Bernoulli or a multinomial one.

Can someone help, please?

You can take a look at the implementation to see what it's doing; the
code is pretty straightforward, in this case.

Probably your answer is in this function here
https://github.com/nltk/nltk/blob/develop/nltk/classify/naivebayes.py#L90

Hope this helps!
