handle factor inputs #14

Closed nehargupta closed 3 years ago

nehargupta commented 3 years ago

explore creating some handling for factor inputs...so if a user enters a column called Race and enters 0,1,2 or black/white/asian this should be split into 3 variables, each with a boolean. because having them as ordered values doesn't make sense in the context of the fact that we would run linear regression on these to match them....etc...

Actually, decided we don't really want this and will stick to integers, and explain this in the documentation.
