The CI value is based on a model accuracy change when records of a category being examined are reassigned to a remaining set of categories of the feature according to a cumulative distribution of records among the remaining set of categories of the feature, wherein the remaining set of categories include all categories of the feature, except for the category being examined. A post-modeling category is performed to merge of each category having the CI value less than a CI value threshold.
