Calculates some summaries and the WoE (Weight of Evidence) between a binary outcome and a given predictor variable. Used to biuld the dictionary.
woe_table(predictor, outcome, Laplace = 1e-06)A atomic vector, usualy with few distinct values.
The dependent variable. A atomic vector with exactly 2 distinct values.
The pseudocount parameter of the Laplace Smoothing
estimator. Default to 1e-6. Value to avoid -Inf/Inf from predictor category with only
one outcome class. Set to 0 to allow Inf/-Inf.
a tibble with counts, proportions and woe. Warning: woe can possibly be -Inf. Use 'Laplace' arg to avoid that.
