before starting SULOV, it ignores category columns. My dataset has 100 catroy calumn and 200 float columns instead of checking 300 it checks 200 columns.

Hi @reza1615
Thanks for trying out featurewiz and making a pull request 👍

SULOV does not handle categories - this is by design since people didn't like my automatically converting categoricals into numbers by label encoding. If you wanted SULOV to handle categericals, please convert them to numeric using label encoding before calling featurewiz.

Thanks for the feedback.
