Bucketing: the process of converting continuous numerical data into discrete forms. To do this, we divide the range of values into equal intervals or bins and assign each data point its appropriate bin based on its value. For instance, if we had a set with 100 values, we might divide it into 10 bins with values ranging from 0-10, 10-20, 20-30 etc. - each data point being assigned its appropriate bin accordingly. | Bucketing: the process of converting continuous numerical data into discrete forms.

Bucketing data simplifies it by reducing its unique values. This can be especially beneficial when working with large datasets or trying to extract patterns from noisy or complex data. Furthermore, bucketing helps mitigate outlier impacts by grouping them within a similar bin, leading to more stable and reliable outcomes. | Bucketing data simplifies it by reducing its unique values.

Bucketing data points could potentially improve the precision of [[machine learning models]]. In certain instances, [[algorithms]] may perform better when data is divided into discrete categories instead of being treated as a continuous variable. This occurs because grouping data points together more efficiently allows the algorithm to identify patterns and connections between them more quickly. | Bucketing data points could potentially improve the precision of [[machine learning models]].
