- Think about how range-type variables might be represented. Is it
reasonable to represent them as any numeric variables or is it better
to have ad-hoc encoding?
In my opinion, for range-type variables it is better to have ad-hoc encoding rather than numeric variables. Because, if we represent them as numeric variables, we will take on the mean of the range, therefore, we are losing information. So, it would be a better choice to use ad-hoc encoding.
