The HPBIN Procedure

This example shows bucket binning and weight-of-evidence (WOE) computation in two steps. In the first step, PROC HPBIN does bucket binning and generates the mapping table. In the second step, PROC HPBIN takes the mapping table that is generated in the first step as the BINS_META data set and computes the WOE and the information value (IV).
