discretize1d.uniform_width: Discretize a set of continuous data into 1-dimensional bins...
In Informeasure: R implementation of Information measures

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

discretize1d.uniform_width assigns the observations of continuous random variables to bins according to the "uniform width" method, and returns a corresponding count table.

1	discretize1d.uniform_width(x)

`x`	a numeric vector of a random variable.

Uniform width-based method ("uniform_width") divides the continuous data into N bins with equal width. The number of bins N is initialized into a round-off value according to the square root of the data size.

discretize1d.uniform_width returns a count table.

# a numeric vector corresponding to a continuous random variable
x <- c(0.0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.7, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 1.0)

# corresponding count table estimated by "uniform width" algorithm
discretize1d.uniform_width(x)
