Contribute#

Feature-engine is an open source project, originally designed to support the online course Feature Engineering for Machine Learning, but has now gained popularity and supports transformations beyond those taught in the course.

Feature-engine is currently supported by a growing community and we will be delighted to accept contributions, large or small, that you wish to make to the project.

Contributing to open-source is a great way to learn and improve coding skills, and also a fun thing to do. If you’ve never contributed to an open source project, we hope to make it easy for you with the following guidelines.
