neighbormodels.neighbors.define_bin_intervals¶

define_bin_intervals(unique_distances: numpy.ndarray) → pandas.core.indexes.interval.IntervalIndex[source]¶

Constructs bin intervals used to group over neighbor distances.

This binning procedure provides a robust method for grouping data based on a variable with a float data type.

Parameters:	unique_distances – An array of neighbor distances returned by asking pandas to return the unique distances.
Returns:	A pandas `IntervalIndex` defining bin intervals can be used to sort and group neighbor distances.
