docs: better instructions on handling categorical variables #529

Open ngupta23 opened 1 week ago

ngupta23 commented 1 week ago

Description

This short notebook on handling categorical variables seems to indicate that this needs to be done through the use of SpecialDates. This is a bit misleading and a limited use case.

This detailed notebook explains the usage much better.

I feel that the short notebook needs to be updated to be more representative of the process for categorical variables.
