备注
The value of the DiscretizationMethod element determines how values for the DimensionAttribute or ScalarMiningStructureColumn are discretized, or organized into a specific set of groups. For more information about discretization methods, see 离散化方法.
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 DiscretizationMethod.
