The binning transformation takes values for a numeric attribute and groups them into bins. The bins are then used as the values of a new attribute.
For example, from a Price attribute, you might create a new Price Range attribute such that:
- If Price is less than 20 dollars, then Price Range is "Inexpensive".
- If Price is greater than 20 dollars but less than 40 dollars, then Price Range is "Moderately Priced".
- If Price is greater than 40 dollars but less than 60 dollars, then Price Range is "Expensive".
- If Price is greater than 60 dollars, then Price Range is "Very Expensive".
