In choonghyunryu/dlookr: Tools for Data Diagnosis, Exploration, Transformation

Binning by recursive information gain ratio maximization

Description

The binning_rgr() finding intervals for numerical variable using recursive information gain ratio maximization.

Usage

binning_rgr(.data, y, x, min_perc_bins = 0.1, max_n_bins = 5, ordered = TRUE)

Arguments

.data	a data frame.
y	character. name of binary response variable. The variable must character of factor.
x	character. name of continuous characteristic variable. At least 5 different values. and Inf is not allowed.
min_perc_bins	numeric. minimum percetange of rows for each split or segment (controls the sample size), 0.1 (or 10 percent) as default.
max_n_bins	integer. maximum number of bins or segments to split the input variable, 5 bins as default.
ordered	logical. whether to build an ordered factor or not.

Details

This function can be usefully used when developing a model that predicts y.

Value

an object of "infogain_bins" class. Attributes of "infogain_bins" class is as follows.

• class : "infogain_bins".

• type : binning type, "infogain".

• breaks : numeric. the number of intervals into which x is to be cut.

• levels : character. levels of binned value.

• raw : numeric. raw data, x argument value.

• target : integer. binary response variable.

• x_var : character. name of x variable.

• y_var : character. name of y variable.

Examples

library(dplyr)

# binning by recursive information gain ratio maximization using character
bin <- binning_rgr(heartfailure, "death_event", "creatinine")

# binning by recursive information gain ratio maximization using name
bin <- binning_rgr(heartfailure, death_event, creatinine)
bin

# summary optimal_bins class
summary(bin)

# visualize all information for optimal_bins class
plot(bin)

# visualize WoE information for optimal_bins class
plot(bin, type = "cross")

# visualize all information without typographic
plot(bin, type = "cross", typographic = FALSE)

# extract binned results
extract(bin) %>% 
  head(20)
