[SOLVED] discretize by entropy evaluation

makak

Hi,

I would like to use discretize by entropy operator with naive bayes classifier. As far as I understand discretize by entropy depends on class value and I it would not be correct to first discretize all dataset and then perform cross validation. I would like to set up experiment where in every test fold of cross-validation I discretize data by entropy and in test fold the classifier is evaluated on on test set discretize by bin intervals from train set fold. Is this possible. I am not sure If I was clear, simply I wish to classified new data using classifier build on discretized data, how I should apply the same discretization intervals on new data?
Any help, comment would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

Discretize operators provide an additional port with a preprocessing model. This can be used
in the X-Validation to ensure that the same preprocessing model from train is used with the test set:
