Stage ports

Input

The input stage must be the data source that contains input variable fields for your model.

Output

The Binning stage has two output ports. The first port will output all input fields plus a binned field for each selected input field. For example, if the input contains Name, Age, and Income fields and you perform binning on Age and Income, the output from the first port will contain the following fields:

  • Name
  • Age
  • Binned_Age
  • Income
  • Binned_Income

The second port outputs four types of information for each selected input field. For example, if you perform binning on Age, the output from the second port will contain the following fields:

  • Age_Bins
  • Age_BinValue
  • Age_Count
  • Age_Percentage

An output stage is not required. You may connect an output stage if you wish to capture your output independent of the Machine Learning Model Management tool.
