What is Feature Engineering?
Feature engineering involves creating new features from raw data to make machine learning models more effective. Examples include:
- Extracting time-based features like day, month, or hour from timestamps.
- Combining multiple features into a new feature.
- Scaling numerical features to standardize their range.
