Feature Engineering: Remove Redundant Features

Explore methods to detect and eliminate redundant features in datasets by analyzing pairwise correlations. Learn to use heatmaps for visualization and apply feature removal to optimize machine learning models predicting customer churn.

In this lesson, we start with the encoded Telco dataset, where we have 31 features and a target. Each of the 7,043 records describes a customer’s subscription details. Now we must identify and remove any features that are redundant by analyzing the relationships between them.
