CAIM (class-attribute interdependence maximization) is designed to discretize continuous data.

Description

The task of extracting knowledge from databases is quite often performed by machine learning algorithms. The majority of
these algorithms can be applied only to data described by discrete numerical or nominal attributes (features). In the case of continuous attributes, there is a need for a discretization algorithm that transforms continuous attributes into discrete ones.
     This code is based on paper: "CAIM Discretization Algorithm", details can look for this paper [1].
    One can start with "ControlCenter.m", here you will find a simple example , with explanations.
    If there is any problem , please let me know. I will answer you as soon as possible.

Hi, I got a error, can u help me?
Attempted to access B(0); index must be a positive integer or logical.
Error in ==> CAIM_Discretization at 73
             D( k ) = B( Local );
I use Statlog (Heart) Data Set (270, 13).

Sorry, I am not familiar with Statlog (Heart) Data Set (270, 13)? Could you please send me the data directly? Then I could test it and find the problem. Thanks

As requested by the authors of CAIM, I add their paper in reference.
