chiM {discretization} | R Documentation |
This function implements ChiMerge discretization algorithm.
chiM(data, alpha = 0.05)
data |
numeric data matrix to discretized dataset |
alpha |
significance level; |
The ChiMerge algorithm follows the axis of bottom-up. It uses the \chi^2
statistic to determine if the relative class frequencies of adjacent intervlas are distinctly different or if they are similar enough to justify merging them into a single interval(Kerber, R. (1992)).
cutp |
list of cut-points for each variable |
Disc.data |
discretized data matrix |
