It's time to practice combining several transformations to the attrition_num data. First, normalize or near-normalize numeric variables by applying a Yeo-Johnson transformation. Next, transform numeric predictors to percentiles, create dummy variables, and eliminate features with near zero variance.

You’ll wrap up the course by learning about feature engineering and machine learning techniques. You’ll begin by focusing on the problems associated with using all available features in a model and the importance of identifying irrelevant and redundant features and learning to remove these features using embedded methods such as lasso and elastic-net. Next, you’ll explore shrinkage methods such as lasso, ridge, and elastic-net, which can be used to regularize feature weights or select features by setting coefficients to zero. Finally, you’ll finish by focusing on creating an end-to-end feature engineering workflow and reviewing and practicing the previously learned concepts and functions in a small project.
