Common feature engineering techniques for temporal features

In this section, you’ll learn about feature engineering techniques that are commonly applied to time and date variables. You’ll learn how to handle missing data as well as create additional useful time and date columns (feature engineering). Let’s begin by looking at how to manage missing temporal data.

Handling temporal variables

Temporal variables represent time-related attributes within a dataset and present unique challenges. In this section, you’ll explore strategies for handling temporal variables within the context of the house prices dataset. Specifically, you’ll focus on three key temporal variables: GarageYrBlt (year garage was built), YearBuilt (original construction date), and YearRemodAdd (date of a remodel or addition). Looking at these variables, you can derive meaningful insights into the dynamics of housing construction and renovation. Understanding the time-related...
