Addresses #280 by checking for
"unknown"
class in a categorical column to be encoded and adding anunknown_token
parameter to specify the string used to stand in for the unknown class. If "unknown" is present in the column andunknown_token="unknown"
, anAssertionError
is raised telling the user to change theunknown_token
parameter.
