Struct OrdinalEncoder 

pub struct OrdinalEncoder;

Encodes string categories as ordinal (integer) values per column.

Takes a list of columns (each column is a Vec<String>) and maps each unique category to a sorted integer index. This is useful as a preprocessing step before one-hot encoding or for ordinal features.

Implementations

impl OrdinalEncoder

pub fn new() -> OrdinalEncoder

Create a new OrdinalEncoder.

pub fn fit( &self, columns: &[Vec<String>], ) -> Result<FittedOrdinalEncoder, RustMlError>

Fit the encoder, learning the vocabulary for each column.

columns is a list of columns where each column is a Vec<String>. All columns must have the same length.
