Label Encoding in Python - PyShark

In this tutorial we will discuss label encoding in Python. In data science, we often work with datasets that contain categorical variables, where the values are represented by strings. For example, when we work with datasets for salary estimation based on different sets of features, we often see job title being entered in words, for example: Manager, Director, Vice-President, President, and so on. The complication it creates is the fact that machine learning algorithms in fact can work with categorical features, yet they have to be in numeric form. There are multiple ways to solve this problem and a lot depends on the algorithm you will be working with.
