Facts
- Purpose
- Feature-engine is a Python library with transformers to engineer and select features for machine-learning models.feature-engine.trainindata.com · 4 Oct 2026
- Feature operations
- Its transformers cover imputation, categorical encoding, discretisation, outlier handling, transformation, feature creation and selection, and date, text and time-series feature extraction.feature-engine.trainindata.com · 4 Oct 2026
- Dataframes
- The library is designed to work with dataframes and says transformed dataframes retain their column names and order.feature-engine.trainindata.com · 4 Oct 2026
- Pipelines
- Transformers use scikit-learn-style fit() and transform() methods and are compatible with scikit-learn pipelines, cross-validation and hyperparameter search.feature-engine.trainindata.com · 4 Oct 2026
- Variable selection
- Transformers let users choose which variables to transform, and the project says it supports a wide range of feature-selection techniques.feature-engine.trainindata.com · 4 Oct 2026
