Normalize Equal Distance
Context
Normalized Equal Distance is one of the Automatic Discretization algorithms for Continuous variables in Step 4 โ Discretization and Aggregation of the Data Import Wizard.
Algorithm Details & Recommendations
The Normalized Equal Distance algorithm pre-processes the data with a smoothing algorithm to remove outliers before computing equal partitions.
As a result, the algorithm is less sensitive to outliers than the Equal Distance algorithm.
The algorithm also takes into account the Minimum Interval Weight that defines the minimum prior probability of a bin.
You can adjust the default Minimum Interval Weight under
Main > Menu > Window > Preferences > Discretization
.
