<!-- ============================ 1. INTRO ============================ -->
<section id="intro" class="topic-section">
<h2>Introduction to Feature Engineering</h2>
<p>Feature Engineering is the process of transforming raw data into meaningful inputs that boost machine-learning model performance. A well-crafted feature set can improve accuracy by 10-30% without changing the underlying algorithm.</p>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>Key Idea:</strong> π‘ Thoughtful features provide the model with clearer patterns, like lenses sharpening a blurry picture.

<section id="missing-data" class="topic-section">
<h2>Handling Missing Data</h2>
<p>Missing values come in three flavors: MCAR (Missing Completely At Random), MAR (Missing At Random), and MNAR (Missing Not At Random). Each demands different treatment to avoid bias.</p>
<!-- Real-world Example -->
<div class="info-card">
<strong>Real Example:</strong> A hospital's patient records often have absent <em>cholesterol</em> values because certain tests were not ordered for healthy young adults.

<!-- ========================== 8. EDA ================================ -->
<section id="eda" class="topic-section">
<h2>Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)</h2>
<p><strong>Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)</strong> is a critical step in the machine learning pipeline that comes BEFORE feature engineering. EDA helps you understand your data, discover patterns, identify anomalies, detect outliers, test hypotheses, and check assumptions through summary statistics and graphical representations.</p>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>Key Questions EDA Answers:</strong>
<ul>
<li>How many columns are numerical vs. categorical?</li>
<li>What does the data distribution look like?</li>
<li>Are there missing values?</li>
<li>Are there outliers?</li>
<li>Is the data imbalanced (for classification problems)?</li>
<li>What are the correlations between features?</li>
<li>Are there any trends or patterns?</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>Real-World Example:</strong> Imagine you're analyzing customer data for a bank to predict loan defaults. EDA helps you understand:
<ul>
<li>Age distribution of customers (histogram)</li>
<li>Income levels (box plot for outliers)</li>
<li>Correlation between income and loan amount (scatter plot)</li>
<li>Missing values in employment history</li>
<li>Class imbalance (5% defaults vs 95% non-defaults)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3>Two Main Types of EDA</h3>
<h4>1. Descriptive Statistics</h4>
<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> Summarize and visualize what the data looks like</p>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>A. Central Tendency:</strong><br>
β’ <strong>Mean (Average):</strong> ΞΌ = Ξ£xα΅’ / n<br>
Example: Average income = $50,000 (Sensitive to outliers)<br>
β’ <strong>Median:</strong> Middle value when sorted<br>
Example: Median income = $45,000 (Robust to outliers)<br>
β’ <strong>Mode:</strong> Most frequent value<br>
Example: Most common age = 35 years<br><br>
<strong>B. Variability (Spread):</strong><br>
β’ <strong>Variance:</strong> ΟΒ² = Ξ£(xα΅’ - ΞΌ)Β² / n (Measures how spread out data is)<br>
β’ <strong>Standard Deviation:</strong> Ο = βvariance<br>
68% of data within 1Ο, 95% within 2Ο, 99.7% within 3Ο (for normal distribution)<br>
β’ <strong>Interquartile Range (IQR):</strong> Q3 - Q1<br>
Middle 50% of data, robust to outliers<br><br>
<strong>C. Correlation & Associations:</strong><br>
β’ <strong>Pearson Correlation:</strong> r = Cov(X,Y) / (Οβ Γ Οα΅§)<br>
Range: -1 to +1<br>
r = +1: Perfect positive correlation<br>
r = 0: No linear correlation<br>
r = -1: Perfect negative correlation<br>
β’ <strong>Thresholds:</strong> |r| > 0.7: Strong, |r| = 0.5-0.7: Moderate, |r| < 0.3: Weak
</div>
<h4>2. Inferential Statistics</h4>
<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> Make inferences or generalizations about the population from the sample</p>
<p><strong>Key Question:</strong> Can we claim this effect exists in the larger population, or is it just by chance?</p>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>A. Hypothesis Testing:</strong><br>
β’ <strong>Null Hypothesis (Hβ):</strong> No effect exists (e.g., "Mean of Group A = Mean of Group B")<br>
β’ <strong>Alternative Hypothesis (Hβ):</strong> Effect exists (e.g., "Mean of Group A β Mean of Group B")<br>
β’ <strong>P-value:</strong> Probability of observing data if Hβ is true<br>
p < 0.05: Reject Hβ (effect is statistically significant)<br>
p > 0.05: Fail to reject Hβ (not enough evidence)<br><br>
<strong>Example:</strong><br>
β’ Hβ: "There is no difference between positive and negative movie review lengths"<br>
β’ Hβ: "Negative reviews are longer than positive reviews"<br>
β’ After t-test: p = 0.003 (< 0.05)<br>
β’ Conclusion: Reject Hβ β Negative reviews ARE significantly longer<br><br>
<strong>B. Confidence Intervals:</strong><br>
β’ Range where true population parameter likely lies<br>
β’ 95% CI: We're 95% confident the true value is within this range<br>
β’ Example: "Average customer age is 35 Β± 2 years (95% CI: [33, 37])"<br><br>
<strong>C. Effect Size:</strong><br>
β’ Cohen's d = (meanβ - meanβ) / pooled_std<br>
β’ Small effect: d = 0.2, Medium: d = 0.5, Large: d = 0.8
</div>
<h3>Algorithm Steps for EDA</h3>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>1. Load and Inspect Data:</strong> df.head(), df.info(), df.describe()<br>
<strong>2. Handle Missing Values:</strong> Identify (df.isnull().sum()), Visualize, Decide<br>
<strong>3. Analyze Distributions:</strong> Histograms, count plots, box plots<br>
<strong>4. Check for Imbalance:</strong> Count target classes, plot distribution<br>
<strong>5. Correlation Analysis:</strong> Correlation matrix, heatmap, identify multicollinearity<br>
<strong>6. Statistical Testing:</strong> Compare groups (t-test, ANOVA), test assumptions, calculate effect sizes

<div class="callout callout--insight">π‘ EDA typically takes 30-40% of total project time. Good EDA reveals which features to engineer.</div>
<div class="callout callout--mistake">β οΈ Common Mistakes: Skipping EDA, not checking outliers before scaling, ignoring missing value patterns, overlooking class imbalance, ignoring multicollinearity.</div>
<div class="callout callout--tip">β
Best Practices: ALWAYS start with EDA, visualize EVERY feature, check correlations with target, document insights, use both descriptive and inferential statistics.</div>
<h3>Use Cases and Applications</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Healthcare:</strong> Analyzing patient data before building disease prediction models</li>
<li><strong>Finance:</strong> Understanding customer demographics before credit scoring</li>
<li><strong>E-commerce:</strong> Analyzing purchase patterns before recommendation systems</li>
<li><strong>Marketing:</strong> Understanding customer segments before targeted campaigns</li>
<li><strong>Time Series:</strong> Checking for seasonality and trends in sales data</li>
</ul>
<h3>Summary & Key Takeaways</h3>
<p>Exploratory Data Analysis is the foundation of any successful machine learning project. It combines <strong>descriptive statistics</strong> (mean, median, variance, correlation) with <strong>inferential statistics</strong> (hypothesis testing, confidence intervals) to understand data deeply.</p>
<p><strong>Descriptive EDA</strong> answers: "What is happening in the dataset?"<br>
<strong>Inferential EDA</strong> answers: "Can we claim this effect exists in the larger population?"</p>

<section id="feature-transformation" class="topic-section">
<h2>Feature Transformation</h2>
<p>Feature transformation creates new representations of data to capture non-linear patterns. Techniques like polynomial features, binning, and mathematical transformations unlock hidden relationships.</p>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>Real Example:</strong> Predicting house prices with polynomial features (adding xΒ² terms) improves model fit for non-linear relationships between square footage and price.
</div>
<h3>Mathematical Foundations</h3>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>Polynomial Features:</strong> Transform (xβ, xβ) β (1, xβ, xβ, xβΒ², xβxβ, xβΒ²)<br>
β’ Degree 2 example: For features (x, y) β (1, x, y, xΒ², xy, yΒ²)<br>
β’ 2 features with degree=2 creates 6 features total<br><br>
<strong>Binning:</strong> Convert continuous β categorical<br>
β’ Equal-width: Divide range into equal intervals<br>
β’ Quantile: Each bin has equal number of samples<br>
β’ Example: Age (0-100) β [0-18], [19-35], [36-60], [61+]<br><br>
<strong>Mathematical Transformations:</strong><br>

<h2>Dimensionality Reduction</h2>
<p>Reducing the number of features while preserving information. PCA (Principal Component Analysis) projects high-dimensional data onto lower dimensions by finding directions of maximum variance.</p>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>Real Example:</strong> Image compression and genome analysis with thousands of genes benefit from PCA. First 2-3 principal components often capture 80%+ of variance.

<h3>PCA Mathematical Foundations</h3>
<div class="info-card">
<strong>Algorithm Steps:</strong><br>
