See it live — copy this example
Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.
var pipeline = ml.Transforms.CopyColumns("Label", "Price")
.Append(ml.Transforms.Categorical.OneHotEncoding("Cat", "Category"))
.Append(ml.Transforms.Concatenate("Features", "Cat", "ConditionScore", "DemandIndex"))
.Append(ml.Regression.Trainers.Gam());What happened?
