Label encoding
Let's work on categorical variables encoding. You will again work with a subsample from the House Prices Kaggle competition.
Your objective is to encode categorical features "RoofStyle" and "CentralAir" using label encoding. The train and test DataFrames are already available in your workspace.

Cobalah latihan ini dengan menyelesaikan kode contoh berikut.
# Concatenate train and test together
houses = ____.____([train, test])
# Label encoder
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
le = ____()
# Create new features
houses['RoofStyle_enc'] = le.fit_transform(houses[____])
houses['CentralAir_enc'] = ____.____(____[____])
# Look at new features
print(houses[['RoofStyle', 'RoofStyle_enc', 'CentralAir', 'CentralAir_enc']].head())
