How to do frequency encoding | Feature Engineering python
Feature Engineering python- In this video we will be feature encoding techniques and How to do frequency encoding also known as count or frequency encoding. we will discuss it with examples using python. Even if you use any other language such as Rstudio or scala , this video will be extremely helpful.
I this technique we simply replace our categories by the count or occurrence of that particular category.
I would encourage you to checkout my complete feature engineering playlist which will help you to learn and understand other feature engineering techniques also.
