Encode Values

Encodes values in a column through a variety of methods:

Label Encoding: Encode target labels with value between 0 and n_classes-1. See scikit-learn's LabelEncoder for full documentation.

Target Encoding: Encode a categorical column with the average value of a target column for the corresponding value of the categorical column. See scikit-learn's TargetEncoder for full documentation.

One Hot Encoding: Encode a categorical column as a 0 or 1 for each possible category, each of which will be it's own row.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Is Optional
method	string	Encoding method which will be used ('label', 'target', or 'oh')
column	column	Column name to label encode
target	column	Required if method = 'target'. Numeric target column to use to create averages	True

Example

ds = rasgo.get.dataset(id)

ds2 = ds.label_encode(column='WEATHER_DESCRIPTION', method='oh')
ds2.preview()

ds3 = ds.target_encode(column='WEATHER_DESCRIPTION', target='DAILY_HIGH_TEMP')
ds3.preview()
