# DistributionThreshold

The numeric factor to use to control taxonomy depth. `DistributionThreshold` allows you to increase or decrease the hierarchical depth of a taxonomy. If you increase the value, the taxonomy hierarchy becomes deeper, and concepts are spread more evenly across the taxonomy. In this case, parent terms tend to have a more consistent number of child terms.

NOTE: Higher values might prevent some concepts from being included, if they are removed from an appropriate parent and have no other suitable parent to join.

The `DistributionThreshold` value must be lower than the RelevanceThreshold value.
