Non Categorical Meta Variables #12

Closed pbelmann closed 4 years ago

pbelmann commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to use FlashWeave also with non-categorical Meta variable like temperature? If this is the case and I provide a column like the one below, the variable is one-hot encoded.

Meta_Temp
40.000
42.000
43.000
43.000
43.000
36.000
36.000

If I provide it without the decimal point, it is not one-hot encoded.

Yes, continuous meta-variables are supported. The preprocessing routine got confused by the high number of duplicates in this particular case, hence the spurious encoding. This should now be fixed - assuming you are still on master, could you try ]up FlashWeave and see if things work?
