The process of selecting,
altering, or developing new features (variables) from raw data to
enhance the performance of machine learning models is known as feature
engineering. It involves identifying the data's most important
information and presenting it in a way that will assist the model see
patterns and make more precise predictions. Scaling, one-hot encoding,
imputing missing values, and creating additional features using
mathematical operations or domain expertise are some examples of feature
engineering jobs. In order to maximise the prediction ability of
machine learning algorithms, it is essential.It involves a set of
techniques that enable us to create new features by combining or
transforming the existing ones. These techniques help to highlight the
most important patterns and relationships in the data, which in turn
helps the machine learning model to learn from the data more effectively
