Application of an efficient Bayesian discretization method to biomedical data

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Several data mining methods require data that are discrete, and other methods often perform better with discrete data. We introduce an efficient Bayesian discretization (EBD) method for optimal discretization of variables that runs e...
