How to Build an sklearn Pipeline with ColumnTransformer in Python
A mock example showing how to chain preprocessing and a regression model into a single sklearn Pipeline, scaling numeric features and one-hot encoding categorical features with ColumnTransformer.
import numpy as np
from sklearn.compose import ColumnTransformer
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler, OneHotEncoder
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
# Mock dataset
X = np.array([[1, 'red'], [2, 'blue'], [3, 'red'], [4, 'green'], [5, 'blue']], dtype=o…One Hot Encode Categories in Python
Convert a list of categorical strings into one-hot encoded numeric vectors using pure Python and NumPy.
import numpy as np
categories = ["red", "green", "blue", "red", "blue", "green", "red"]
unique = sorted(set(categories))
lookup = {cat: i for i, cat in enumerate(unique)}
one_hot = []
for cat in categories:
row = [0] * len(unique)
row[lookup[cat]] = 1
one_hot.append(row)
print("Categories:", categories…Browse by section
