Question
A data analyst wants to train a machine learning model to predict the salary of new hires. The training data contains both categorical and numeric features. Which of the following statements is correct regarding categorical and numeric features?Box Cox tranformation and Yeo Johnson transformation can be used on both numeric and categorical featuresBox cox tranformation is used on categorical features while Standard Scaler is used on numerical featuresMin Max Scaler is used on both numeric and categorical columnsYeo Johnson transfomation is used on numeric features while One hot encoder is used on categorical columns
Solution
The correct statement is: "Yeo Johnson transformation is used on numeric features while One hot encoder is used on categorical columns."
Explanation:
-
Yeo-Johnson transformation is a power transformation technique used to stabilize variance, make the data more normal distribution-like, improve the validity of measures of association, and handle outliers. It is used on numeric features.
-
One hot encoding is a process of converting categorical data variables so they can be provided to machine learning algorithms to improve predictions. One hot encoding is needed for the algorithm to understand that the categorical variable represents distinct categories.
-
Box Cox transformation and Min Max Scaler are also used on numeric features, not on categorical features.
-
Standard Scaler is not typically used on categorical features; it is used on numeric features to standardize them to a standard normal distribution (mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1).
