Week – 1 Feature preprocessing and generation with respect to models

Apply np.log1p(x) transform to the data

Apply rank transform to the features

Winsorization

Apply np.sqrt(x) transform to the data

MinMaxScaler

StandardScaler

When categorical feature is ordinal

When the number of categorical features in the dataset is huge

When we can come up with label encoder, that assigns close labels to similar (in terms of target) categories

If target dependence on the label encoded feature is very non-linear, i.e. values that are close to each other in the label encode feature correspond to target values that aren’t close.

When the feature have only two unique values

Label encoding is always better than one-hot encoding

One-hot encoding is always better than label encoding

Depending on the dataset either of label encoder or one-hot encoder could be better
