Cross-validation for naive bayes data mining model

A system, method, and computer program product provides a useful measure of the accuracy of a Naïve Bayes predictive model and reduced computational expense relative to conventional techniques. A method for measuring accuracy of a Naive Bayes predictive model comprises the steps of receiving a training dataset comprising a plurality of rows of data, building a Naïve Bayes predictive model using the training dataset, for each of at least a portion of the plurality of rows of data in the training dataset incrementally untraining the Naïve Bayes predictive model using the row of data and determining an accuracy of the incrementally untrained Naïve Bayes predictive model, and determining an aggregate accuracy of the Naïve Bayes predictive model.
