Feature Engineering Guide
Create effective features that improve machine learning model performance.
Usage
Describe your dataset and target to get feature engineering recommendations.
Examples
- "Engineer features for a customer churn prediction model"
- "Create time-based features from transaction timestamps"
- "Generate interaction features for a recommendation system"
Guidelines
- Understand the domain before creating features
- Start with simple features before complex ones
- Handle missing values before feature creation
- Use cross-validation to validate feature importance
- Document the rationale for each engineered feature
