2
What is One-Hot Encoding, and what is its primary limitation on high-cardinality categorical features?
3
What is Target Encoding (Mean Encoding), and how is target data leakage prevented when using it?
4
What is the difference between StandardScaler (Z-score normalization) and MinMaxScaler?
5
Why is the RobustScaler in scikit-learn superior when continuous features contain extreme outliers?
6
What is Cyclical Feature Encoding (e.g., encoding hour of day 0-23 or month 1-12 using sine and cosine)?
7
What is a Log Transformation (e.g., np.log1p(x)) used for in feature engineering?
8
What is an 'Interaction Feature' in tabular machine learning?
9
What is KNN Imputation for missing values, and how does it compare to simple mean/median imputation?
10
