In this video, we dive deep into the world of categorical data encoding, focusing on the Basic Encoding Techniques of Label encoding. Whether you're new to data science or looking to solidify your understanding, this video will guide you through step-by-step explanations and key concepts. You may want to check out other videos containing 37 other encoding methods, grouped into 8 comprehensive categories, a complete cheat-sheet on how to choose right method and comparative analysis using standard datasets.
Learn how each method works, the advantages and limitations of one-hot encoding. Enhance your knowledge and apply these techniques in your data preprocessing workflows for better performance in machine learning models.
What you'll learn in this video:
• In-depth explanation of label encoding
• Python code implementations for label encoding using one more of below libraries:
o Custom logic using Pandas and Numpy
o sklearn library
o category_encoder library
o feature_engine library
o
• When and why to choose label encoding method
