INTRODUCTION TO FEATURE ENGINEERING

1. Feature Engineering

 Definition: Process of creating new input features or modifying existing ones to improve
model performance.
 Importance: Better features = better performance.

2. Feature Transformation

 Normalization: Scale data to [0,1] range.


 Standardization: Convert data to zero mean and unit variance.
 Log/Power Transformations: Reduce skewness.
 Encoding: Label encoding, one-hot encoding.
 Binning: Convert continuous to categorical (e.g., age groups).

3. Feature Subset Selection

 Goal: Choose the most informative features to reduce overfitting and improve accuracy.
 Techniques:
o Filter Methods: Correlation, chi-square test
o Wrapper Methods: Forward selection, backward elimination
o Embedded Methods: Lasso, Ridge regression
