This paper presents a Bayesian statistical analysis applied to the spam problem. In most anti-spam related research, generally it is assumed that the probability of a spam occurrence is equal to 0.5, which is in our opinion unrealistic. It is also assumed that in the spam message, words are considered as an independent family of words. This makes us look at how the posterior probability behaves when the a priori probability is different from 0.5 and derive the consequences of the assumption of independent words on the posterior probability. The first assumption pushes us to define a prior and find a posterior probability laws to enhance the spam detection and increase the reliability decision. This analysis differs from previous results, that used the Bayesian approach to the anti-spam issue, especially through refinement and enhancement of various probability laws. |
