title: is there a discretized method available in matlab?
body: <p>I have a set attributes like so in my data file:
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/FcSCD.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>The selected attributes consists of both discrete and continuous attribute types. The attributes Protocol Type and Service are of type discrete and the attribute Src Bytes, Dst Bytes, Count are of continuous type. </p>
  
  <p>I want to try implement the k-means/fcm algorithm for clustering trainning data for a Neural Network, but i have to process the dataset in number of iterations, the continuous type attribute will increase the load on the algorithm and thereby decreasing the performance. Hence they are converted to discrete values but how can I achieve this in matlab?</p>
  
  <p>I also need help on understanding discrete and continuous and why or how the algorithms mentioned use them? </p>
