BINNING Procedure

The BINNING procedure performs binning in SAS Viya Workbench. Binning is a common step in the data preparation stage of the model-building process. You can use binning to classify missing variables, reduce the impact of outliers, and generate multiple effects. The generated effects are useful and contain certain nonlinear information about the original variables.

The BINNING procedure supports several binning methods, which are described in the following subsections. The BINNING procedure can also calculate the weight of evidence (WOE) and information value (IV) based on binning results.
