How to Use Discretization Transforms for Machine Learning
Last Updated on August 28, 2020 Numerical input variables may have a highly skewed or non-standard distribution. This could be caused by outliers in the data, multi-modal distributions, highly exponential distributions, and more. Many machine learning algorithms prefer or perform better when numerical input variables have a standard probability distribution. The discretization transform provides an automatic way to change a numeric input variable to have a different data distribution, which in turn can be used as input to a predictive […]
