Bucketing, also referred to as binning, is a [[data preprocessing]] technique in [[machine learning]] that groups [[continuous numerical data]] into [[discrete categories]] or '''buckets''' or '''bins''' based on their range of values. This can be advantageous for various reasons such as simplifying the data, eliminating [[noise]] and [[outliers]], and improving [[model]] [[accuracy]]. In this article we'll provide an overview of bucketing in machine learning including its advantages, potential drawbacks, and how it's implemented.
