• Key Concepts: 
  Data binning is a process used in SAP Medical Research Insights (IS-PMED-MRI) to group data into categories. It is used to identify patterns and trends in large datasets, and to make data easier to interpret. Data binning can be used to group data into categories such as age, gender, or other demographic information. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data binning can be used in SAP Medical Research Insights (IS-PMED-MRI) by selecting the data points that need to be grouped and then assigning them to a specific category. For example, if you wanted to group patients by age, you would select the age field and assign each patient to a specific age group. Once the data has been grouped, it can be analyzed for patterns and trends. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using data binning in SAP Medical Research Insights (IS-PMED-MRI), it is important to choose the right categories for grouping the data. For example, if you are looking for patterns related to gender, it would be more effective to group the data into male and female categories rather than male, female, and other. Additionally, it is important to consider the size of the bins when grouping the data; too small of bins may lead to too much detail while too large of bins may lead to too little detail.
