Register model with categorical features #78

Hi,

I've managed to register a lightGBM model to Model Manager, however I'm unable to score with this model in SAS as categorical inputs are registered as decimal. I was working off the FleetManagement notebook but with HMEQ data. Is there a way to factor in these categorical features?

@jco-08,

Are you still looking for a method to score models with categorical inputs? If so, my best suggestion would be to utilize one-hot-encoding.
