For example, if you have a variable called race that is coded with 1=Hispanic, 2=Asian, 3=Black, 4=White, then entering race in your regression will look at the linear effect of the race variable, which is probably not what you intended. Instead, categorical variables like this need to be coded into a series of indicator variables which can then be entered into the regression model. There are a variety of coding systems that can be used for coding categorical variables, including one-hot, dummy, effects, orthogonal, and Helmert.</dd></dl>
+<p>We currently support one-hot and dummy coding techniques.</p>
+<p>Dummy coding is used when a researcher wants to compare other groups of the predictor variable with one specific group of the predictor variable. Often, the specific group to compare with is called the reference group.</p>
+<p>One-hot encoding is similar to dummy coding except it builds indicator (0/1) columns (cast as numeric) for each value of each category. Only one of these columns could take on the value 1 for each row (data point). There is no reference category for this function.</p>

+</dd>
+<dt>categorical_cols </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">VARCHAR. Comma-separated string of column names of categorical variables to encode. Can also be '*' meaning all columns are to be encoded, except the ones specified in 'categorical_cols_to_exclude' and 'row_id'. Please note that all Boolean, integer and text columns are considered categorical columns and will be encoded when ‘*’ is specified for this argument. </p>
+<p class="enddd"></p>
+</dd>
+<dt>categorical_cols_to_exclude (optional) </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">VARCHAR. Comma-separated string of column names to exclude from the categorical variables to encode. Applicable only if 'categorical_cols' = '*'. </p>
+<p class="enddd"></p>
+</dd>
+<dt>row_id (optional) </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">VARCHAR. Comma-separated column name(s) corresponding to the primary key(s) of the source table. This parameter determines the format of the 'output_table' as described above. If 'categorical_cols' = '*', these columns will be excluded from encoding (but will be included in the output table).</p>
+<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>If you want to see both the raw categorical variable and its encoded form in the output_table, then include the categorical variable in the 'row_id' parameter. However, this will not work if you specify '*' for the parameter 'categorical_cols', because in this case 'row_id' columns will not be encoded at all. </dd></dl>

+<dt>top (optional) </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">VARCHAR. default: NULL. If integer, encodes the top n values by frequency. If float in the range (0.0, 1.0), encodes the specified fraction of values by frequency (e.g., 0.1 means top 10%). Can be specified as a global for all categorical columns, or as a dictionary with separate 'top' values for each categorical variable. Set to NULL to encode all levels (values) for all categorical columns. </p>
+<p class="enddd"></p>

+<dt>value_to_drop (optional) </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">VARCHAR. Default: NULL.</p>

+<li>For dummy coding, indicate the desired value (reference) to drop for each categorical variable. Can be specified as a global for all categorical columns, or a comma-separated string containing items of the form 'name=value', where 'name' is the column name and 'value' is the reference value to be dropped.</li>

+</ul>
+<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>If you specify both 'value_to_drop' and 'top' parameters, the 'value_to_drop' will be applied first (takes priority), then 'top' will be applied to the remaining values. </dd></dl>

+<dt>encode_null (optional) </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">BOOLEAN. default: FALSE. Whether NULL should be treated as one of the values of the categorical variable. If TRUE, then an indicator variable is created corresponding to the NULL value. If FALSE, then all encoded values for that variable will be set to 0. </p>
+<p class="enddd"></p>
+</dd>
+<dt>output_type (optional) </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">VARCHAR. default: 'column'. This parameter controls the output format of the indicator variables. If 'column', a column is created for each indicator variable. PostgreSQL limits the number of columns in a table. If the total number of indicator columns exceeds the limit, then make this parameter either 'array' to combine the indicator columns into an array or 'svec' to cast the array output to <em>'madlib.svec'</em> type.</p>
+<p>Since the array output for any single tuple would be sparse (only one non-zero entry for each categorical column), the 'svec' output would be most efficient for storage. The 'array' output is useful if the array is used for post-processing, including concatenating with other non-categorical features.</p>
+<p>The order of the array is the same as specified in 'categorical_cols'. A dictionary will be created when 'output_type' is 'array' or 'svec' to define an index into the array. The dictionary table will be given the name of the 'output_table' appended by '_dictionary'. </p>
+<p class="enddd"></p>
+</dd>
+<dt>output_dictionary (optional) </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">BOOLEAN. default: FALSE. This parameter is used to handle auto-generated column names that exceed the PostgreSQL limit of 63 bytes.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>If TRUE, column names will include numerical IDs and will create a dictionary table called 'output_table_dictionary' ('output_table' appended with '_dictionary').</li>
+<li>If FALSE, will auto-generate column names in the usual way unless the limit of 63 bytes will be exceeded. In this case, a dictionary output file will be created and a message given to the user. </li>

+<dt>distributed_by (optional) </dt>
+<dd><p class="startdd">VARCHAR. default: NULL. Columns to use for the distribution policy of the output table. When NULL, either 'row_id' is used as distribution policy (when provided), or else the distribution policy of 'source_table' will be used. This argument does not apply to PostgreSQL platforms.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>NULL: By default, the distribution policy of the source_table will be used.</li>

(Remember that this will not work if you specify '*' for the parameter 'categorical_cols', because in this case 'row_id' columns will not be encoded at all.) <pre class="example">

+<p>For example, data of counts would typically be modeled with a Poisson distribution and a log link, while binary outcomes would typically be modeled with a Bernoulli distribution (or binomial distribution, depending on exactly how the problem is phrased) and a log-odds (or logit) link function.</p>

(For instance, 'mytable' and 'MyTable' both resolve to the same entity, i.e. 'mytable'. If mixed-case or multi-byte characters are desired for entity names then the string should be double-quoted; in this case the input would be '"MyTable"').</dd></dl>

+<p>Functions in <a class="el" href="group__grp__linreg.html">Linear Regression</a> is prefered to GLM with family=gaussian,link=identity, as the former require only a single pass over the training data. In addition, if user expects to use robust variance, clustered variance, or marginal effects on top of the trained model, functions in <a class="el" href="group__grp__linreg.html">Linear Regression</a> and <a class="el" href="group__grp__logreg.html">Logistic Regression</a> should be used.</p>
