How to run the Bayes Classifier

Before running, please create a folder called 'resources' at the root of this project and then add the data_test.pkl and data_train.pkl files to that folder. The code for the models in the report is all included. To run the best classifier against the data_test.pkl file from Kaggle that produces the best accuracy, please run the python file called mnb_cnb_sgd.py located in the root directory of this project:

python mnb_cnb_sgd.py

After completion, the generated file will be called output.csv and will be located in the resources folder.
