Is Binning in Data Analysis a Good Idea?

Python in Plain English

Data analysis is a very important part of the data scientist’s job. Because I am not actually employed by a company as a data scientist, I must acquire my skills by taking courses or entering…

Feature Engineering: Bayesian Methods for Binning

Towards Data Science

One of the most crucial pieces of any data science puzzle is perhaps also the least glamorous: feature engineering. It can be protracted and frustrating, but if it’s not done right, it can spell…

Data Preprocessing with Python Pandas — Part 5 Binning

Towards Data Science

Data binning (or bucketing) groups data in bins (or buckets), in the sense that it replaces values contained into a small interval with a single representative value for that interval. Sometimes…

A Beginner’s Guide to Converting Numerical Data to Categorical: Binning and Binarization

Towards AI

That’s exactly what converting numerical data into categorical data can do for you! In today’s post, we’ll dive into two game-changing techniques: Binning and Binarization , perfect for scenarios like...

Data Scientists: STOP Randomly Binning Histograms

Analytics Vidhya

Histograms are a crucial part of Exploratory Data Analysis. But we often abuse them by randomly choosing a number of bins. Let’s use math.

Binning for Feature Engineering in Machine Learning

Towards Data Science

If you have trained your model and still think the accuracy can be improved, it may be time for feature engineering. Feature engineering is the practice of using existing data to create new features…

From Numerical to Categorical

Three ways to bin numeric features Photo by frank mckenna on Unsplash Binning numerical features into groups based on intervals the original value falls into can improve model performance. This can o...

Data Binning with Pandas Cut or Qcut Method

Towards Data Science

Binning the data can be a very useful strategy while dealing with numeric data to understand certain trends. Sometimes, we may need an age range, not the exact age, a profit margin not profit, a…

Feature Engineering Examples: Binning Numerical Features

Towards Data Science

Feature engineering focuses on using the variables already present in your dataset to create additional features that are (hopefully) better at representing the underlying structure of your data. For…...
