Last Updated on August 17, 2020 Machine learning models require all input and output variables to be numeric. This means that if your data contains categorical data, you must encode it to numbers before you can fit and evaluate a model. The two most popular techniques are an Ordinal Encoding and a One-Hot Encoding. In this tutorial, you will discover how to use encoding schemes for categorical machine learning data. After completing this tutorial, you will know: Encoding is a […]
