Challenge: Encoding Categorical Variables

To summarize the previous three chapters, here is a table showing what encoder you should use:

In this challenge, you have the penguins dataset file (with no missing values). You need to deal with all the categorical values, including the target ('species' column).

Here is the reminder of the data you will work with:


              12345
            
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/a65bbc96-309e-4df9-a790-a1eb8c815a1c/penguins_imputed.csv')

print(df.head())

Keep in mind that 'island' and 'sex' are categorical features and 'species' is a categorical target.

Encode all the categorical values. For this, you need to choose the correct encoder for the 'island', and 'sex' columns and follow the steps.

Import the correct encoders for features and target.
Initialize the features encoder object.
Encode the categorical feature columns using the feature_enc object.
Initialize the target encoder object.
Encode the target using the label_enc object.
