What is binning in python?

Binning Method

Binning method for data smoothing. The Binning method is used to smoothing data or to handle noisy data. In this method, the data is first sorted and then the sorted values are distributed into a number of buckets or bins. As binning methods consult the neighborhood of values, they perform local smoothing.

Approach:

  1. Sort the array of given data set.
  2. Divides the range into N intervals, each containing the approximately same number of samples(Equal-depth partitioning).
  3. Store mean/ median/ boundaries in each row.
