WHAT DOES DICHOTOMIZATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Discretization

In mathematics, discretization concerns the process of transferring continuous models and equations into discrete counterparts. This process is usually carried out as a first step toward making them suitable for numerical evaluation and implementation on digital computers. Processing on a digital computer requires another process called quantization. Dichotomization is the special case of discretization in which the number of discrete classes is 2, which can approximate a continuous variable as a binary variable. ▪ Euler–Maruyama method ▪ Zero-order hold Discretization is also related to discrete mathematics, and is an important component of granular computing. In this context, discretization may also refer to modification of variable of category granularity, as when multiple discrete variables are aggregated or multiple discrete categories fused. Whenever continuous data is discretized, there is always some amount of discretization error. The goal is to reduce the amount to a level considered negligible for the modeling purposes at hand.
