You don't have much flexibility to impose constraints or to correct the weight of evidence, but it does a decent job.</P> <P>Read more on this old thread:&nbsp;<A href="https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Mining/Optimal-Binning-in-the-Enterprise-Miner-Transform-Variables-node/td-p/213153" target="_blank">https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Mining/Optimal-Binning-in-the-Enterprise-Miner-Transform-Variables-node/td-p/213153</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The hpbin procedure can also help some:</P> <P><A href="http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/prochp/67530/HTML/default/viewer.htm#prochp_hpbin_syntax01.htm" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/prochp/67530/HTML/default/viewer.htm#prochp_hpbin_syntax01.htm</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Good luck!</P> Thu, 28 Jan 2016 14:03:25 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/How-to-decide-on-binning-when-calculating-WOE/m-p/246620#M3622 M_Maldonado 2016-01-28T14:03:25Z
