Hi all,
This may have been addressed previously, but I couldn't find it in
the list archives.
I was looking over scores of my newly installed 3.0.0-rc2 and
noticed that for fourth column[1] the BAYES_95 score is higher than
BAYES_99.
score BAYES_00 0 0 -1.665 -2.599
score BAYES_05 0 0 -0.925 -0.413
score BAYES_20 0 0 -0.730 -1.951
score BAYES_40 0 0 -0.276 -1.096
score BAYES_50 0 0 1.567 0.001
score BAYES_60 0 0 3.515 0.372
score BAYES_80 0 0 3.608 2.087
score BAYES_95 0 0 3.514 2.063
score BAYES_99 0 0 4.070 1.886
This seems counterintuitive to me, based on my understanding of
probability and statistics (which is admitedly just enough to be
dangerous). Is this a result of some interaction? For example a
message that meets BAYES_99 is also more likely to trigger some
network tests, so a lower score is needed to reduce FPs?
Thanks for any patient explanations!
Ted
[1] Thanks as well for the great explanation yesterday of what the
four columns mean--I was wondering myself.
