Bayesian Classifier (How many features is best ?)

A Bayesian Classifier for answering the question: "does more features always mean higher accuracy?"

You are now following this Submission

In machine learning, is it always true that you will achieve higher classification accuracy if you use more features ? In other words, does more features always mean higher accuracy ?
This is the question that I'm going to analyze and answer in my blog post: http://heraqi.blogspot.com.eg/2015/11/is-more-features-the-better.html. I hope you find it useful. Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments, I will be happy to answer.
For that we will use the Skin Segmentation Dataset (Rajen Bhatt, Abhinav Dhall, UCI Machine Learning Repository) and the Naive Bayesian Classifier. I implement the Bayesian classifier, and no libraries or Toolboxes are used.
