Property Value

Type: System.String
A String containing the method to be used for discretization.

Remarks

The value of DiscretizationMethod determines how values for the ScalarMiningStructureColumn are discretized, or organized into a specific set of groups. For more information about discretization methods, see Discretization Methods (Data Mining).

The value of this property is limited to one of the strings in the following table.
