Dummy Package in R -
could ?
i using dummy package in r (function dummy) convert categorical variable(10 categories) dummy variables because of algorithms using (adaboost , rotation forest), don't handle categorical variables well.
after using package 10 dummy variables factors. expected them numeric 1s , 0s.
should convert them numeric ? or use them factors.
thanks lot !!!! best pedro
after performing 1 hot encoding there no difference keeping them factor or numeric . better not perform 1 hot encoding tree based models.it decrease performance.here article describing effect of 1 hotted variables..it better pass categorical variables converting them factors
