Data preparation in machine learning: 4 key steps Data preparation for ML is key to accurate model results. Clean and structure raw data to boost accuracy, improve efficiency, and reduce overfitting for more reliable predictions. Data preparation refines raw data into a clean, organized and struct...
You must have heard this phrase if you have ever encountered a senior Kaggle data scientist or machine learning engineer. The fact is that this is a true phrase. In a real-world data science project, data preprocessing is one of the most important things, and it is one of the common fac...
This is probably the most important step in the preprocessing process. The data you will be working with will almost certainly come from somewhere. In the case of machine learning, it’s usually a spreadsheet application (Excel, Google Sheets, Etc.) that is manipulated by someone else. In th...
For data preprocessing, I firstly defined three transformers: DataFrameSelector: Select features to handle. CombinedAttributesAdder: Add a categorical feature Age_cat which divided all passengers into three catagories according to their ages. ImputeMostFrequent: Since the SimpleImputer( ) method was only...
Let's look at a few specific transformations in order to get a better handle on them. First, this overview ofPreprocessing datafrom Scikit-learn's documentation gives some rationale for some of the most important preprocessing transformations, namely standardization, normalization, binarization, and a...

In this tutorial, we’ll outline the handling and preprocessing methods for categorical data. Before discussing the significance of preparing categorical data for machine learning models, we’ll first define categorical data and its types. Additionally, we'll look at several encoding methods, categoric...
In Spark MLLib, you can chain a sequence of evaluators and transformers together in a pipeline that performs all the feature engineering and preprocessing steps you need to prepare your data. The pipeline can end with a machine learning algorithm that acts as an evaluator to dete...
