apply.tbin {corkscrew} | R Documentation |
Extrapolates the binning of categorical variables to the new datasets.
apply.tbin(idv, train.output, test)
idv |
Predictor variables in the dataframe which are categorical and need to be binned. |
train.output |
The output object of the tbin function. |
test |
A new data set on which binning has to be extrapolated. |
This function performs binning on the new dataset based on the output object from the tbin function.
Returns a dataframe which contains the extrapolated variables of the output object from tbin function appended to the new dataset.
New level error is thrown if the new dataset contains new levels other than what is present in the old dataset.
