Encoding

 

Welcome to another series of Quick Reads... This series of Quick Reads focuses on another major step in the process of Data Preprocessing, i.e. Variable Encoding. 

We will be studying every detail from What is Variable Encoding to What techniques do we use with their shortcomings and strengths together with a practical demo. All this is in our series of Quick Reads.

Trust us, when we say Quick Reads, then we truly mean teaching and explaining some heavy concepts in Data Science, at the same time in which we cook our 'Maggie'.
