Algorithm 6.1 Hartemink’s Information-Preserving Discretisation
1. Discretise each variable independently using quantile discretisation
and a large number k
1
of intervals, e.g., k
1
= 50 or even k
1
= 100.
2. Repeat the following steps until each variable has k

k

intervals,
iterating over each variable X
i
, i = 1, . . . , p in turn:
(a) compute
M
X
i
=

j6=i
MI(X
i
, X
j
);
(b) for each pair l of adjacent intervals of X
i
, collapse them in a
single interval, and with the resulting variable X
i
(l) compute
