This cheat sheet emphasizes the critical importance of encapsulating feature engineering steps within Scikit-Learn Pipelines to prevent data leakage during cross-validation. By treating preprocessing strategies as tunable hyperparameters within a unified estimator, practitioners can ensure models are evaluated on unseen data without prior exposure to validation folds. The guide highlights essential structural tools like ColumnTransformer and SimpleImputer that streamline the workflow for handling mixed data types and missing values.
Feature Engineering in Scikit-Learn: A KDnuggets Cheat Sheet

Once feature engineering lives inside a Pipeline, each step is fitted on training data only, and the model is scored what it actually earned. And that is the idea behind this new cheat sheet.
Most of my early scikit-earn mistakes happened around a model rather than inside it. I would scale a column in one notebook cell, encode a category in another, fit the model somewhere further down,…
