Label Encoding in R programming
Label encoders take as input a vector of categorical variables and convert it into numerical form. Initially, a vector is fed as input to the encoder.
To implement the Label Encoding in R Programming Language, we have two methods :
- Using superml
- Using factors()
Let’s discuss the method below:
Label Encoding in R programming
The data that has to be processed for performing manipulations and Analyses should be easily understood and well denoted. The computer finds it difficult to process strings and other objects when data training and predictions based on it have to be performed. Label encoding is a mechanism to assign numerical values to the string variables so that they are easily transformed and fed into various models. Therefore label encoders typically perform the conversion of categorical variables into integral values. Decoders perform the reverse operation.
