Ordinal vs Label vs One-Hot Encoding in Machine Learning

📊 Ordinal Encoding vs Label Encoding vs One-Hot Encoding Choosing the right encoding technique is critical for building effective machine learning models. 🔹 Ordinal Encoding preserves natural order (use only when ranking matters) 🔹 Label Encoding assigns numeric labels without implying order 🔹 One-Hot Encoding creates binary columns to avoid unintended relationships Understanding when and why to use each method helps prevent misleading models and improves performance. #MachineLearning #DataScience #FeatureEngineering #Python #MLBasics #Analytics

You might be wrong in ordinal because in ranking such low, medium,high so converting them through ordinal encoding it might be wrong because ordinal encoding assign ranks based on alphabetical order so high will get lower impact while we do such conversation by label encoding such as mapping encoding ✨✅
