NumericToNominal

Package

weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute

Synopsis

A filter for turning numeric attributes into nominal ones. Unlike discretization, it just takes all numeric values and adds them to the list of nominal values of that attribute. Useful after CSV imports, to enforce certain attributes to become nominal, e.g., the class attribute, containing values from 1 to 5.
