Target encoding involves replacing categorical feature values with a numeric representation derived from the target variable. This method aims to capture the relationship between categorical features and the target variable by encoding categories with their respective impact on the target.
use case
High Cardinality Features
requirements
Regression, binary and multiclass classification.
Handle overfitting
Handle unknown category, the new category not present in the training dataset.
Handle missing value
Implementation
Fit
Treat missing Value
Use the mean value of target variable for that category for regression task
Use the conditional probability given that category
