Normalized Equal Distance

Context

Algorithm Details & Recommendations

  • The Normalized Equal Distance algorithm preprocesses 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, which defines the minimum prior probability of a bin.
  • You can adjust the default Minimum Interval Weight under Main Menu > Window > Preferences > Discretization.
