Automating feature extraction with Feature-engine

Feature-engine is a Python library dedicated to engineering and selecting features and is well-suited to working with pandas DataFrames. The DatetimeFeatures() class from Feature-engine can extract features from date and time automatically by using the pandas dt module under the hood. This transformer allows you to extract the following features:

• Month
• Quarter
• Semester
• Year
• Week
• Day of week
• Day of month
• Day of year
• Weekend
• Month start
• Month end
• Quarter start
• Quarter end
• Year start
• Year end
• Leap year
• Days in month
• Hour
• Minute
• Second

In this recipe, we will automatically create features from date and time by utilizing Feature-engine.

How to do it...

To proceed with this recipe, we must import the necessary libraries and create a toy dataset:

1. Let’s begin by importing pandas and DatetimeFeatures():

   import pandas as pd
   from feature_engine...
