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…

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…

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…...

Optimal Break Points for Histograms with {healthyR}

 R-bloggers

Introduction Histogram binning is a technique used in data visualization to group continuous data into a set of discrete bins, or intervals. The purpose of histogram binning is to represent the distri...

Feature Engineering Examples: Binning Categorical Features

 Towards Data Science

Working with categorical data for machine learning (ML) purposes can sometimes present tricky issues. Ultimately these features need to be numerically encoded in some way so that an ML algorithm can…

Histograms, Binnings, and Density

 Python Data Science Handbook

A simple histogram can be a great first step in understanding a dataset. Earlier, we saw a preview of Matplotlib's histogram function (see Comparisons, Masks, and Boolean Logic ), which creates a basi...
