Hi Janu, what a binner mainly does is transforming numerical data into ordinal scale. Let's assume we've got 10 records with values from 1 to 10. With the numeric binner we can define rules which range corresponds with which value on the ordinal scale. Lets say we want all values from 0 to 5 binned as "low", 5 to 9 as "mid" and 10 as "high". With the Auto-Binner node in contrast we can among others say how many bins we want to have and let the node split automatically, e.g. we hant to have the data in 5 bins. | Value | Numeric bin | Auto bin | | 1 | low | Bin1 | | 2 | low | Bin1 | | 3 | low | Bin2 | | 4 | low | Bin2 | | 5 | low | Bin3 | | 6 | mid | Bin3 | | 7 | mid | Bin4 | | 8 | mid | Bin4 | | 9 | mid | Bin5 | | 10 | high | Bin5 | Hope that helps. Best Marten ---
