==========================================================
Demonstrating the different strategies of KBinsDiscretizer
==========================================================

This example presents the different strategies implemented in KBinsDiscretizer:

- 'uniform': The discretization is uniform in each feature, which means that
  the bin widths are constant in each dimension.
- quantile': The discretization is done on the quantiled values, which means
  that each bin has approximately the same number of samples.
- 'kmeans': The discretization is based on the centroids of a KMeans clustering
  procedure.

The plot shows the regions where the discretized encoding is constant.
