Hi Ganesh,
one approach would be to do a mapping of the variables in the form of dictionary, like you suggested unemployed becomes 0, etc. :
dict = {"occupation": {"unemployed": 1, ...}Then you can use the replace() method on your data frame to directly assign the new values:
your_data.replace(dict, inplace=True)Here's a link with more on the topic: https://pbpython.com/categorical-encoding.html Best, Eli
