How to choose an optimal threshold for binary discretization












0












$begingroup$


We know that we usually do discretizations to continuous features to remove extra information and unwanted regularities, which makes the model robust and well-predicted.

But I am wondering except based on the context of feature how to choose an optimal threshold for data discretization, binary or multi.
