Define Custom Bins for a Categorical Attribute

Use this selection to explicitly define bins for a categorical attribute.

You can either generate default bins and then modify them, or you can define bins explicitly.

Click Generate Default Bins to generate default bins using the Top N strategy and a specified value for N. You are informed if the wizard changes the number of bins. To modify a bin, select it and click Edit. When you edit a bin, you can modify the list of attribute values that appear in the bin.

To define bins explicitly, you define bins one at a time using Add.

To add a bin, click Add.

Click OK when you have finished the bin definition.

To change the list of attribute values in a bin, select the bin and click Edit.

To delete a bin, select it, and click Delete.

Click OK to return to the previous dialog.

The wizard calculates the bins and marks the attribute as using a Run Binning strategy.
