.SH DESCRIPTION


This utility takes a dataset and binarizes the variables into either 0 or 1
given threshold. User can apply binarization on a dimension or the whole
dataset. A dimension can be specified using \fB--dimension\fP (\fB-d\fP) option. Threshold
can also be specified with the \fB--threshold\fP (\fB-t\fP) option; The default is 0.0.
.PP
The program does not modify the original file, but instead makes a separate
file to save the binarized data; The program requires you to specify the file
name with \fB--output_file\fP (\fB-o\fP).
.PP
For example, if we want to make all variables greater than 5 in dataset to 1
and ones that are less than or equal to 5.0 to 0, and save the result to
result.csv, we could run
.PP
$ \fBmlpack_preprocess_binarize\fP \fB-i\fP dataset.csv \fB-t\fP 5 \fB-o\fP result.csv
.PP
But if we want to apply this to only the first (0th) dimension of the dataset,
we could run
.PP
$ \fBmlpack_preprocess_binarize\fP \fB-i\fP dataset.csv \fB-t\fP 5 \fB-d\fP 0 \fB-o\fP result.csv
