Are those  standard statistics terms? In that case,

Not really - however, aggregating is, but with a different meaning.

Agreed. How about something like "Collapse Into Groups"? Or perhaps "Group Into Categories"? Or "Group According to Cuts"?

Well, "lines" creates a sequence of joined line segments. I would
call that a polygonal line (not a polygon, which would be a closed
such line).

Hmmm, ok.  What's wrong with just calling it lines?

Nothing I guess, I'll change it. For me, lines would refer to just a bunch of disjoint lines, but I guess this would never be used anyway in this context, so "Lines" should be clear enough.
Perhaps "Line Segments" might be more accurate.
