      public class NaiveBayesUpdateable
      extends NaiveBayes
      implements UpdateableClassifier

  Class for a Naive Bayes classifier using estimator classes. This is the updateable version of NaiveBayes.
  This classifier will use a default precision of 0.1 for numeric attributes when buildClassifier is called with zero training instances.
  For more information on Naive Bayes classifiers, see

  Valid options are:

       -K
        Use kernel density estimator rather than normal
        distribution for numeric attributes

       -D
        Use supervised discretization to process numeric attributes

       -O
        Display model in old format (good when there are many classes)
