Description
Return a floor-based resolution bin and its bounds.
Feature transformations depend on training-derived parameters, category vocabularies and explicit missing-value conventions. A local formula or token rule does not ensure that fitting, application and validation avoid data leakage.
Return a floor-based resolution bin and its bounds.
When to use this tool
Use Numeric Feature Caller Resolution Bin when checking one supplied feature-transform or encoding component.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter value, origin, resolution. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read index, lower, upper. Use the output convention below.
Return a floor-based resolution bin and its bounds. Require resolution > 0; index = floor((value-origin)/resolution), lower = origin+index*resolution and upper = lower+resolution.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| value | Value | Required. Finite number. |
| origin | Origin | Required. Finite number. |
| resolution | Resolution | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| index | Position under the stated indexing convention; inspect any missing-value sentinel. | Required. Safe integer. |
| lower | Lower | Required. Finite number. |
| upper | Upper | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The implied interval is lower-inclusive/upper-exclusive under arithmetic convention; no adaptive bin estimation or measurement accuracy is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a correctly fitted preprocessing pipeline and suitable validation design for complete data transformation and model assessment.
