GD (version 1.6)

disc: Generates discretization parameters for continuous data.

Description

Function for discretizing continuous data and obtaining the different outputs, including discretization intervals, numbers of values within intervals, and visualization of discretization.

Usage

disc(var, n, method = "quantile", ManualItv)
# S3 method for disc
print(x, ...)
# S3 method for disc
plot(x, ...)

Arguments

var

A numeric vector of continuous variable

n

The numeber of intervals

method

A character of discretization method

ManualItv

A numeric vector of manual intervals

x

A list of disc result

...

Ignore

Examples

# NOT RUN {
## method is default (quantile); number of intervals is 4
ds1 <- disc(ndvi_40$Tempchange, 4)
ds1
## method is equal; number of intervals is 4
ds2 <- disc(ndvi_40$Tempchange, 4, method = "equal")
## method is manual; number of intervals is 4
manualitv1 <- c(-0.5, 0, 1, 2, 4)
ds3 <- disc(ndvi_40$Tempchange, 4, method = "manual", ManualItv = manualitv1)
