The HPSPLIT Procedure

Interval Input Binning Details

PROC HPSPLIT places interval input variables into bins. You can specify the number of bins by using the INTERVALBINS= option in the PROC HPSPLIT statement. Each bin except the last spans the range

\begin{equation*}  \left[ \frac{vmax - vmin}{intervalbins}bin + vmin, \frac{vmax - vmin}{intervalbins}\left(bin+1 \right) + vmin \right) \end{equation*}

where vmax and vmin are the maximum and minimum value of the respective variable and bin is the bin, which is an integer in the range

\begin{equation*}  \left[0, intervalbins \right) \end{equation*}

For the largest bin, the end of the bin range is inclusive.
