discretize()

Statistics

discretize() is a MATLAB®-compatible statistics function for group the data in x into bins defined by the monotonically increasing edges vector, returning the bin index (or the mapped value) for each element. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Group the data in x into bins defined by the monotonically increasing edges vector, returning the bin index (or the mapped value) for each element.

Syntax

Frequently Asked Questions about discretize()

Is the discretize() function free to use in SimLab?

The browser workspace requires no MATLAB® license or installation. Connected features require network access and may have account, tier, availability, or usage limits. You can open discretize() and 510+ other MATLAB®-compatible function references at simulations4all.com/simlab.

Do I need to install MATLAB to use discretize()?

No. SimLab’s core parser, workspace state, and most functions run locally in your browser. The discretize() function requires no MATLAB® license or desktop software download.

What does discretize() do?

Group the data in x into bins defined by the monotonically increasing edges vector, returning the bin index (or the mapped value) for each element. It is a MATLAB®-compatible statistics function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: discretize(x, edges).

Can I run discretize() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls discretize(), and run it. This function’s calculation runs locally in the browser. SimLab session analytics, sharing, feedback, and eligible acceleration have separate network boundaries.
