Question 1
�. Read the employee_attrition dataset and save it as df. Recall that the target variable in this dataset is named 'Attrition.'
�. Check if the dataset is imbalanced by counting the number of Noes and Yeses in the target variable Attrition.
Hints:
Imbalanced data refers to a situation where the number of observations is not the same for all the classes in a dataset.
For example, the number of churned employees is 4000, while the number of unchurned employees is 40000. This
means this dataset is imbalanced.
You need to access the target variable Attrition and count how many Yes and No there is in this variable. If the number
of Yes's is equal to the number of No's, then the dataset is balanced. Otherwise, it is not balanced.
Check Module 5g: Encoding Categorical Variables to earn more about data imbalance problems. Particularly, check
2.5: Balancing datasets in Module 5.

Question 2 �. Identify the names of the numerical input variables and save it as a LIST
�. Identify the names of the categorical input variables+ and save it as a LIST
Hints:
Remember Attrition is the target (output) variable, so exclude Attrition from both LISTS containing the numerical and
categorical input variables.

#
Question 3 �. Identify the numerical variables with zero variance (i.e., zero standard deviation) and save them in a LIST
�. Drop these numerical variables with zero variance (i.e., zero standard deviation) from the dataset df. The dataset df should not
have these variables going forward.
Hints:
For each numerical variable, compute the standard deviation. If the standard deviation is zero, delete (i.e., drop) that
variable from the dataset df.

Question 4
�. Identify the categorical variables with zero variance (i.e., low cardinality) and save them in a LIST
�. Drop these categorical variables with zero variance (i.e., low cardinality) from the dataset df. The dataset df should not have
these variables going forward.
Hints:
For each categorical variable, find the number of levels. If the number of levels is 1, delete (i.e., drop) that variable from
the dataset df. For example, if a variable named occupation has only "Engineers" across all the rows (i.e., one level), the
variable does not contain any information. In other words, zero variation.

#
Question 5 �. Find the categorical variables with very high variance (i.e., very high cardinality) and save them in a LIST. Use 200 as the
threshold. In other words, the categorical variables over 200 levels should be considered as variables with high cardinality (i.e.,
with high variance).
�. Drop the categorical variables with very high variance (i.e., very high cardinality) from the dataset df. The dataset df should not
have these variables going forward.
Hints:
For each categorical variable, find the number of levels. If the number of levels is greater than 200, delete (i.e., drop)
that variable from the dataset df. For example,

#
Question 6
�. Scale (i.e., standardize) the numerical variables in the dataset using the standardization method and drop the original numerical
variables and only keep the standardized ones.
�. The new standardized numerical variables should have the same variable names. For example, the age variable after being
standardized should be named the same (i.e., age)
Hints:
Feature standardization makes the values of each feature in the data have zero-mean (when subtracting the mean in
the numerator) and unit-variance. This method is widely used for normalization in many machine learning algorithms.

{'question 1': 'pass', 'question 2': 'pass', 'question 3': 'pass', 'question 4': 'pass', 'question 5': 'pass', 'question 6': 'pass'}
#
Question 7 �. Encode the categorical input variables. Do not encode the target variable Attrition. You will do that in the following question.
Hints:
You will create dummies for categorical variables.
Example: Let's say you have a variable named occupation. This variable has three levels: Engineer, Teacher, Manager.
We will use binary encoding and create dummies for each of these levels to be able to encode the occupation variable.
Technically, we are converting the categorical variable into new numerical variables.
We will have two new variables for this occupation variable, such as occupation_teacher, occupation_manager. We do
not need occupation_teacher because we can infer if the person is a teacher by checking occupation_manager and
occupation_engineer variables.
For example: If occupation_enginner and occupation_manager are zero, then this person is a teacher.
If occupation_engineer is 1, this person is an engineer.

#
Question 8 �. Encode the categorical output variable: Attrition. Yes should be coded as 1, and No should be coded as 0. The new encoded
target variable should be named as Attrition. Do not forget to drop the categorical Attirion Variable. Basically, you will convert
the categorical Attrition variable into numerical attrition variable such that Yes will be mapped to 1, and No will be mapped to
zero.
Hints:
Check Module 3 and Module 5 videos.

#
Question 9
�. Balance the dataset
�. Your code should return the input and output variables seperately. The input variables will be saved as a dataframe named X.
The output variable will be saved as a dataframe named y.
Hints:
Imbalanced data refers to a situation where the number of observations is not the same for all the classes in a dataset.
For example, the number of churned employees is 4000, while the number of unchurned employees is 40000. This
means this dataset is imbalanced.
You need to access the target variable Attrition and increase the number of ones (i.e., Yeses) so that both the number
of zeros (i.e., Noes) and the number of ones (i.e., Yeses) will be equal.

Split the dataset into training and testing Basically using X and y dataframes, you will create X_train, X_test, y_train, and
