create_breaks {binst}

A convenience functon for creating breaks with various methods.

Description

A convenience functon for creating breaks with various methods.

Usage

create_breaks(x, y = NULL, method = "kmeans", control = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

X is a numeric vector to be discretized

y

Y is the response vector used for calculating metrics for discretization

method

Method is the type of discretization approach used. Possible methods are: "dt", "entropy", "kmeans", "jenks"

control

Control is used for optional parameters for the method. It is a list of optional parameters for the function

...

instead of passing a list into control, arguments can be parsed as is.

Value

A vector containing the breaks

Examples

kmeans_breaks <- create_breaks(1:10)
create_bins(1:10, kmeans_breaks)

# passing the k means parameter "centers" = 4
kmeans_breaks <- create_breaks(1:10, list(centers=4))
create_bins(1:10, kmeans_breaks)

entropy_breaks <- create_breaks(1:10, rep(c(1,2), each = 5), method="entropy")
create_bins(1:10, entropy_breaks)

dt_breaks <- create_breaks(iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Species, method="dt")
create_bins(iris$Sepal.Length, dt_breaks)
