The value of the DiscretizationMethod element determines how values for the DimensionAttribute or ScalarMiningStructureColumn are discretized, or organized into a specific set of groups.
The value of this element is limited to one of the strings in the following table.
Value | Description |
---|---|
Automatic | Equivalent to the AUTOMATIC discretization method for mining structure columns. |
EqualAreas | Equivalent to the EQUAL_AREAS discretization method for mining structure columns. |
Clusters | Equivalent to the CLUSTERS discretization method for mining structure columns. |
Thresholds | Equivalent to the THRESHOLDS discretization method for mining structure columns. |
EqualRanges | Equivalent to the EQUAL_RANGES discretization method for mining structure columns. |
The enumeration corresponding to the allowed values for DiscretizationMethod in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is xref:Microsoft.AnalysisServices.DiscretizationMethod.
