Feature Engineering Made Easy

What is feature engineering?

Finally, the title of the book.

Yes, folks, feature engineering will be the topic of this book. We will be focusing on the process of cleaning and organizing data for the purposes of machine learning pipelines. We will also go beyond these concepts and look at more complex transformations of data in the forms of mathematical formulas and neural understanding, but we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s start a high level.

Feature engineering is the process of transforming data into features that better represent the underlying problem, resulting in improved machine learning performance.

To break this definition down a bit further, let's look at precisely what feature engineering entails:

• Process of transforming ...
