class OneHotEncoder(_BaseEncoder):
    """
    Encode categorical features as a one-hot numeric array.

    The input to this transformer should be an array-like of integers or
    strings, denoting the values taken on by categorical (discrete) features.
    The features are encoded using a one-hot (aka 'one-of-K' or 'dummy')
    encoding scheme. This creates a binary column for each category and
    returns a sparse matrix or dense array (depending on the ``sparse_output``
    parameter).

    By default, the encoder derives the categories based on the unique values
    in each feature. Alternatively, you can also specify the `categories`
    manually.

    This encoding is needed for feeding categorical data to many scikit-learn
    estimators, notably linear models and SVMs with the standard kernels.

    Note: a one-hot encoding of y labels should use a LabelBinarizer
    instead.

    Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <preprocessing_categorical_features>`.
    For a comparison of different encoders, refer to:
    :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_preprocessing_plot_target_encoder.py`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    categories : 'auto' or a list of array-like, default='auto'
        Categories (unique values) per feature:

        - 'auto' : Determine categories automatically from the training data.
        - list : ``categories[i]`` holds the categories expected in the ith
          column. The passed categories should not mix strings and numeric
          values within a single feature, and should be sorted in case of
          numeric values.

        The used categories can be found in the ``categories_`` attribute.

        .. versionadded:: 0.20

    drop : {'first', 'if_binary'} or an array-like of shape (n_features,), \
            default=None
        Specifies a methodology to use to drop one of the categories per
        feature. This is useful in situations where perfectly collinear
        features cause problems, such as when feeding the resulting data
        into an unregularized linear regression model.

        However, dropping one category breaks the symmetry of the original
        representation and can therefore induce a bias in downstream models,
        for instance for penalized linear classification or regression models.

        - None : retain all features (the default).
        - 'first' : drop the first category in each feature. If only one
          category is present, the feature will be dropped entirely.
        - 'if_binary' : drop the first category in each feature with two
          categories. Features with 1 or more than 2 categories are
          left intact.
        - array : ``drop[i]`` is the category in feature ``X[:, i]`` that
          should be dropped.

        When `max_categories` or `min_frequency` is configured to group
        infrequent categories, the dropping behavior is handled after the
        grouping.

        .. versionadded:: 0.21
           The parameter `drop` was added in 0.21.

        .. versionchanged:: 0.23
           The option `drop='if_binary'` was added in 0.23.

        .. versionchanged:: 1.1
            Support for dropping infrequent categories.

    sparse_output : bool, default=True
        When ``True``, it returns a :class:`scipy.sparse.csr_matrix`,
        i.e. a sparse matrix in "Compressed Sparse Row" (CSR) format.

        .. versionadded:: 1.2
           `sparse` was renamed to `sparse_output`

    dtype : number type, default=np.float64
        Desired dtype of output.

    handle_unknown : {'error', 'ignore', 'infrequent_if_exist'}, \
                     default='error'
        Specifies the way unknown categories are handled during :meth:`transform`.

        - 'error' : Raise an error if an unknown category is present during transform.
        - 'ignore' : When an unknown category is encountered during
          transform, the resulting one-hot encoded columns for this feature
          will be all zeros. In the inverse transform, an unknown category
          will be denoted as None.
        - 'infrequent_if_exist' : When an unknown category is encountered
          during transform, the resulting one-hot encoded columns for this
          feature will map to the infrequent category if it exists. The
          infrequent category will be mapped to the last position in the
          encoding. During inverse transform, an unknown category will be
          mapped to the category denoted `'infrequent'` if it exists. If the
          `'infrequent'` category does not exist, then :meth:`transform` and
          :meth:`inverse_transform` will handle an unknown category as with
          `handle_unknown='ignore'`. Infrequent categories exist based on
          `min_frequency` and `max_categories`. Read more in the
          :ref:`User Guide <encoder_infrequent_categories>`.

        .. versionchanged:: 1.1
            `'infrequent_if_exist'` was added to automatically handle unknown
            categories and infrequent categories.

    min_frequency : int or float, default=None
        Specifies the minimum frequency below which a category will be
        considered infrequent.

        - If `int`, categories with a smaller cardinality will be considered
          infrequent.

        - If `float`, categories with a smaller cardinality than
          `min_frequency * n_samples`  will be considered infrequent.

        .. versionadded:: 1.1
            Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <encoder_infrequent_categories>`.

    max_categories : int, default=None
        Specifies an upper limit to the number of output features for each input
        feature when considering infrequent categories. If there are infrequent
        categories, `max_categories` includes the category representing the
        infrequent categories along with the frequent categories. If `None`,
        there is no limit to the number of output features.

        .. versionadded:: 1.1
            Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <encoder_infrequent_categories>`.

    feature_name_combiner : "concat" or callable, default="concat"
        Callable with signature `def callable(input_feature, category)` that returns a
        string. This is used to create feature names to be returned by
        :meth:`get_feature_names_out`.

        `"concat"` concatenates encoded feature name and category with
        `feature + "_" + str(category)`.E.g. feature X with values 1, 6, 7 create
        feature names `X_1, X_6, X_7`.

        .. versionadded:: 1.3

    Attributes
    ----------
    categories_ : list of arrays
        The categories of each feature determined during fitting
        (in order of the features in X and corresponding with the output
        of ``transform``). This includes the category specified in ``drop``
        (if any).

    drop_idx_ : array of shape (n_features,)
        - ``drop_idx_[i]`` is the index in ``categories_[i]`` of the category
          to be dropped for each feature.
        - ``drop_idx_[i] = None`` if no category is to be dropped from the
          feature with index ``i``, e.g. when `drop='if_binary'` and the
          feature isn't binary.
        - ``drop_idx_ = None`` if all the transformed features will be
          retained.

        If infrequent categories are enabled by setting `min_frequency` or
        `max_categories` to a non-default value and `drop_idx[i]` corresponds
        to a infrequent category, then the entire infrequent category is
        dropped.

        .. versionchanged:: 0.23
           Added the possibility to contain `None` values.

    infrequent_categories_ : list of ndarray
        Defined only if infrequent categories are enabled by setting
        `min_frequency` or `max_categories` to a non-default value.
        `infrequent_categories_[i]` are the infrequent categories for feature
        `i`. If the feature `i` has no infrequent categories
        `infrequent_categories_[i]` is None.

        .. versionadded:: 1.1

    n_features_in_ : int
        Number of features seen during :term:`fit`.

        .. versionadded:: 1.0

    feature_names_in_ : ndarray of shape (`n_features_in_`,)
        Names of features seen during :term:`fit`. Defined only when `X`
        has feature names that are all strings.

        .. versionadded:: 1.0

    feature_name_combiner : callable or None
        Callable with signature `def callable(input_feature, category)` that returns a
        string. This is used to create feature names to be returned by
        :meth:`get_feature_names_out`.

        .. versionadded:: 1.3

    Examples
    --------
    Given a dataset with two features, we let the encoder find the unique
    values per feature and transform the data to a binary one-hot encoding.

    >>> from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder

    One can discard categories not seen during `fit`:

    >>> enc = OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore')
    >>> X = [['Male', 1], ['Female', 3], ['Female', 2]]
    >>> enc.fit(X)
    OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore')
    >>> enc.categories_
    [array(['Female', 'Male'], dtype=object), array([1, 2, 3], dtype=object)]
    >>> enc.transform([['Female', 1], ['Male', 4]]).toarray()
    array([[1., 0., 1., 0., 0.],
           [0., 1., 0., 0., 0.]])
    >>> enc.inverse_transform([[0, 1, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0]])
    array([['Male', 1],
           [None, 2]], dtype=object)
    >>> enc.get_feature_names_out(['gender', 'group'])
    array(['gender_Female', 'gender_Male', 'group_1', 'group_2', 'group_3'], ...)

    One can always drop the first column for each feature:

    >>> drop_enc = OneHotEncoder(drop='first').fit(X)
    >>> drop_enc.categories_
    [array(['Female', 'Male'], dtype=object), array([1, 2, 3], dtype=object)]
    >>> drop_enc.transform([['Female', 1], ['Male', 2]]).toarray()
    array([[0., 0., 0.],
           [1., 1., 0.]])

    Or drop a column for feature only having 2 categories:

    >>> drop_binary_enc = OneHotEncoder(drop='if_binary').fit(X)
    >>> drop_binary_enc.transform([['Female', 1], ['Male', 2]]).toarray()
    array([[0., 1., 0., 0.],
           [1., 0., 1., 0.]])

    One can change the way feature names are created.

    >>> def custom_combiner(feature, category):
    ...     return str(feature) + "_" + type(category).__name__ + "_" + str(category)
    >>> custom_fnames_enc = OneHotEncoder(feature_name_combiner=custom_combiner).fit(X)
    >>> custom_fnames_enc.get_feature_names_out()
    array(['x0_str_Female', 'x0_str_Male', 'x1_int_1', 'x1_int_2', 'x1_int_3'],
          dtype=object)

    Infrequent categories are enabled by setting `max_categories` or `min_frequency`.

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> X = np.array([["a"] * 5 + ["b"] * 20 + ["c"] * 10 + ["d"] * 3], dtype=object).T
    >>> ohe = OneHotEncoder(max_categories=3, sparse_output=False).fit(X)
    >>> ohe.infrequent_categories_
    [array(['a', 'd'], dtype=object)]
    >>> ohe.transform([["a"], ["b"]])
    array([[0., 0., 1.],
           [1., 0., 0.]])

    Encode categorical features as an integer array.

    The input to this transformer should be an array-like of integers or
    strings, denoting the values taken on by categorical (discrete) features.
    The features are converted to ordinal integers. This results in

    For a comparison of different encoders, refer to:
    :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_preprocessing_plot_target_encoder.py`.

    .. versionadded:: 0.20

    Parameters
    ----------
    categories : 'auto' or a list of array-like, default='auto'
        Categories (unique values) per feature:

        - 'auto' : Determine categories automatically from the training data.
        - list : ``categories[i]`` holds the categories expected in the ith
          column. The passed categories should not mix strings and numeric
          values, and should be sorted in case of numeric values.

        The used categories can be found in the ``categories_`` attribute.

    dtype : number type, default=np.float64
        Desired dtype of output.

    handle_unknown : {'error', 'use_encoded_value'}, default='error'
        When set to 'error' an error will be raised in case an unknown
        categorical feature is present during transform. When set to
        'use_encoded_value', the encoded value of unknown categories will be
        set to the value given for the parameter `unknown_value`. In
        :meth:`inverse_transform`, an unknown category will be denoted as None.

        .. versionadded:: 0.24

    unknown_value : int or np.nan, default=None
        When the parameter handle_unknown is set to 'use_encoded_value', this
        parameter is required and will set the encoded value of unknown
        categories. It has to be distinct from the values used to encode any of
        the categories in `fit`. If set to np.nan, the `dtype` parameter must
        be a float dtype.

        .. versionadded:: 0.24

    encoded_missing_value : int or np.nan, default=np.nan
        Encoded value of missing categories. If set to `np.nan`, then the `dtype`
        parameter must be a float dtype.

        .. versionadded:: 1.1

    min_frequency : int or float, default=None
        Specifies the minimum frequency below which a category will be
        considered infrequent.

        - If `int`, categories with a smaller cardinality will be considered
          infrequent.

        - If `float`, categories with a smaller cardinality than
          `min_frequency * n_samples`  will be considered infrequent.

        .. versionadded:: 1.3
            Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <encoder_infrequent_categories>`.

    max_categories : int, default=None
        Specifies an upper limit to the number of output categories for each input
        feature when considering infrequent categories. If there are infrequent
        categories, `max_categories` includes the category representing the
        infrequent categories along with the frequent categories. If `None`,
        there is no limit to the number of output features.

        `max_categories` do **not** take into account missing or unknown
        categories. Setting `unknown_value` or `encoded_missing_value` to an
        integer will increase the number of unique integer codes by one each.
        This can result in up to `max_categories + 2` integer codes.

        `min_frequency` or `max_categories` to a non-default value.
        `infrequent_categories_[i]` are the infrequent categories for feature
        `i`. If the feature `i` has no infrequent categories
        `infrequent_categories_[i]` is None.

    --------
    OneHotEncoder : Performs a one-hot encoding of categorical features. This encoding
        is suitable for low to medium cardinality categorical variables, both in
        supervised and unsupervised settings.
    TargetEncoder : Encodes categorical features using supervised signal
        in a classification or regression pipeline. This encoding is typically
        suitable for high cardinality categorical variables.
    LabelEncoder : Encodes target labels with values between 0 and
        ``n_classes-1``.

    Notes
    -----
    With a high proportion of `nan` values, inferring categories becomes slow with
    Python versions before 3.10. The handling of `nan` values was improved
    from Python 3.10 onwards, (c.f.
    `bpo-43475 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/87641>`_).

    Examples
    --------
    Given a dataset with two features, we let the encoder find the unique
    values per feature and transform the data to an ordinal encoding.

    >>> from sklearn.preprocessing import OrdinalEncoder
    >>> enc = OrdinalEncoder()
    >>> X = [['Male', 1], ['Female', 3], ['Female', 2]]
    >>> enc.fit(X)
    OrdinalEncoder()
    >>> enc.categories_
    [array(['Female', 'Male'], dtype=object), array([1, 2, 3], dtype=object)]
    >>> enc.transform([['Female', 3], ['Male', 1]])
    array([[0., 2.],
           [1., 0.]])

    >>> enc.inverse_transform([[1, 0], [0, 1]])
    array([['Male', 1],
           ['Female', 2]], dtype=object)

    By default, :class:`OrdinalEncoder` is lenient towards missing values by
    propagating them.

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> X = [['Male', 1], ['Female', 3], ['Female', np.nan]]
    >>> enc.fit_transform(X)
    array([[ 1.,  0.],
           [ 0.,  1.],
           [ 0., nan]])

    You can use the parameter `encoded_missing_value` to encode missing values.

    >>> enc.set_params(encoded_missing_value=-1).fit_transform(X)
    array([[ 1.,  0.],
           [ 0.,  1.],
           [ 0., -1.]])

    Infrequent categories are enabled by setting `max_categories` or `min_frequency`.
    In the following example, "a" and "d" are considered infrequent and grouped
    together into a single category, "b" and "c" are their own categories, unknown
    values are encoded as 3 and missing values are encoded as 4.

    >>> X_train = np.array(
    ...     [["a"] * 5 + ["b"] * 20 + ["c"] * 10 + ["d"] * 3 + [np.nan]],
    ...     dtype=object).T
    >>> enc = OrdinalEncoder(
    ...     handle_unknown="use_encoded_value", unknown_value=3,
    ...     max_categories=3, encoded_missing_value=4)
    >>> _ = enc.fit(X_train)
    >>> X_test = np.array([["a"], ["b"], ["c"], ["d"], ["e"], [np.nan]], dtype=object)
    >>> enc.transform(X_test)
    array([[2.],
           [0.],
           [1.],
           [2.],
           [3.],
           [4.]])
