Learn how to combine scikit‑learn's Pipeline with ColumnTransformer to preprocess mixed numeric and categorical data safely and reproducibly.
Master scikit‑learn’s Pipeline and ColumnTransformer: understand trust boundaries, prevent data leakage, and validate your design with practical checks and failure‑mode awareness.
Learn how to wrap preprocessing steps in a Pipeline so that statistics are learned only on training data, avoiding leakage when modeling mixed numeric and categorical features.
Goal: ensure repeatable preprocessing pipeline that handles numeric and categorical features while preserving ability to inspect feature importance after training. Constraint: need to avoid data leakage during cross-validation and maintain consistent transformation across folds. Uncertainty: whether embedding ColumnTransformer inside a Pipeline offers any ad
