rbin
Tools for Binning Data
Manually bin data using weight of evidence and information value. Includes other binning
methods such as equal length, quantile and winsorized. Options for combining levels of categorical
data are also available. Dummy variables can be generated based on the bins created using any of
the available binning methods. References: Siddiqi, N. (2006)
