Statistics, Machine Learning, Data Science, and AI seem like very scary topics, but since each technique is really just a combination of small and simple steps, they are actually quite simple. My goal with StatQuest is to break down the major methodologies into easy-to-understand pieces. That said, I don't dumb down the material. Instead, I build up your understanding so that you are smarter. Contact, Video Index, Etc: https://statquest.org
Video Description
In theory, discrete variables, or features, are easy to use with machine learning algorithms. However, in practice, it's not always so easy and we often have to transform discrete values, like favorite colors, into numbers. There are lots of ways to do this, and this video walks you through 3 of the most popular methods.
