class OneHotEncoder(_BaseEncoder):
    """
    Encode categorical features as a one-hot numeric array.

    The input to this transformer should be an array-like of integers or
    strings, denoting the values taken on by categorical (discrete) features.
    The features are encoded using a one-hot (aka 'one-of-K' or 'dummy')
    encoding scheme. This creates a binary column for each category and
    returns a sparse matrix or dense array (depending on the ``sparse``
    parameter)

    By default, the encoder derives the categories based on the unique values
    in each feature. Alternatively, you can also specify the `categories`
    manually.

    This encoding is needed for feeding categorical data to many scikit-learn
    estimators, notably linear models and SVMs with the standard kernels.

    Note: a one-hot encoding of y labels should use a LabelBinarizer
    instead.

    Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <preprocessing_categorical_features>`.

    .. versionchanged:: 0.20

    Parameters
    ----------
    categories : 'auto' or a list of array-like, default='auto'
        Categories (unique values) per feature:

        - 'auto' : Determine categories automatically from the training data.
        - list : ``categories[i]`` holds the categories expected in the ith
          column. The passed categories should not mix strings and numeric
          values within a single feature, and should be sorted in case of
          numeric values.

        The used categories can be found in the ``categories_`` attribute.

        .. versionadded:: 0.20

    drop : {'first', 'if_binary'} or a array-like of shape (n_features,), \
            default=None
        Specifies a methodology to use to drop one of the categories per
        feature. This is useful in situations where perfectly collinear
        features cause problems, such as when feeding the resulting data
        into a neural network or an unregularized regression.

        However, dropping one category breaks the symmetry of the original
        representation and can therefore induce a bias in downstream models,
        for instance for penalized linear classification or regression models.

        - None : retain all features (the default).
        - 'first' : drop the first category in each feature. If only one
          category is present, the feature will be dropped entirely.
        - 'if_binary' : drop the first category in each feature with two
          categories. Features with 1 or more than 2 categories are
          left intact.
        - array : ``drop[i]`` is the category in feature ``X[:, i]`` that
          should be dropped.

    sparse : bool, default=True
        Will return sparse matrix if set True else will return an array.

    dtype : number type, default=np.float
        Desired dtype of output.

    handle_unknown : {'error', 'ignore'}, default='error'
        Whether to raise an error or ignore if an unknown categorical feature
        is present during transform (default is to raise). When this parameter
        is set to 'ignore' and an unknown category is encountered during
        transform, the resulting one-hot encoded columns for this feature
        will be all zeros. In the inverse transform, an unknown category
        will be denoted as None.

    Attributes
    ----------
    categories_ : list of arrays
        The categories of each feature determined during fitting
        (in order of the features in X and corresponding with the output
        of ``transform``). This includes the category specified in ``drop``
        (if any).

    drop_idx_ : array of shape (n_features,)
        - ``drop_idx_[i]`` is the index in ``categories_[i]`` of the category
          to be dropped for each feature.
        - ``drop_idx_[i] = None`` if no category is to be dropped from the
          feature with index ``i``, e.g. when `drop='if_binary'` and the
          feature isn't binary.
        - ``drop_idx_ = None`` if all the transformed features will be
          retained.

    See Also
    --------
    sklearn.preprocessing.OrdinalEncoder : Performs an ordinal (integer)
      encoding of the categorical features.
    sklearn.feature_extraction.DictVectorizer : Performs a one-hot encoding of
      dictionary items (also handles string-valued features).
    sklearn.feature_extraction.FeatureHasher : Performs an approximate one-hot
      encoding of dictionary items or strings.
    sklearn.preprocessing.LabelBinarizer : Binarizes labels in a one-vs-all
      fashion.
    sklearn.preprocessing.MultiLabelBinarizer : Transforms between iterable of
      iterables and a multilabel format, e.g. a (samples x classes) binary
      matrix indicating the presence of a class label.

    Examples
    --------
    Given a dataset with two features, we let the encoder find the unique
    values per feature and transform the data to a binary one-hot encoding.

    >>> from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder

    One can discard categories not seen during `fit`:

    >>> enc = OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore')
    >>> X = [['Male', 1], ['Female', 3], ['Female', 2]]
    >>> enc.fit(X)
    OneHotEncoder(handle_unknown='ignore')
    >>> enc.categories_
    [array(['Female', 'Male'], dtype=object), array([1, 2, 3], dtype=object)]
    >>> enc.transform([['Female', 1], ['Male', 4]]).toarray()
    array([[1., 0., 1., 0., 0.],
           [0., 1., 0., 0., 0.]])
    >>> enc.inverse_transform([[0, 1, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0]])
    array([['Male', 1],
           [None, 2]], dtype=object)
    >>> enc.get_feature_names(['gender', 'group'])
    array(['gender_Female', 'gender_Male', 'group_1', 'group_2', 'group_3'],
      dtype=object)

    One can always drop the first column for each feature:

    >>> drop_enc = OneHotEncoder(drop='first').fit(X)
    >>> drop_enc.categories_
    [array(['Female', 'Male'], dtype=object), array([1, 2, 3], dtype=object)]
    >>> drop_enc.transform([['Female', 1], ['Male', 2]]).toarray()
    array([[0., 0., 0.],
           [1., 1., 0.]])

    Or drop a column for feature only having 2 categories:

    >>> drop_binary_enc = OneHotEncoder(drop='if_binary').fit(X)
    >>> drop_binary_enc.transform([['Female', 1], ['Male', 2]]).toarray()
    array([[0., 1., 0., 0.],
           [1., 0., 1., 0.]])

    Encode categorical features as an integer array.

    The input to this transformer should be an array-like of integers or

    The features are converted to ordinal integers. This results in
    a single column of integers (0 to n_categories - 1) per feature.

    Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <preprocessing_categorical_features>`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    categories : 'auto' or a list of array-like, default='auto'
        Categories (unique values) per feature:

        - 'auto' : Determine categories automatically from the training data.
        - list : ``categories[i]`` holds the categories expected in the ith
          column. The passed categories should not mix strings and numeric
          values, and should be sorted in case of numeric values.

        The used categories can be found in the ``categories_`` attribute.

    dtype : number type, default np.float64
        Desired dtype of output.

    Attributes
    ----------
    categories_ : list of arrays
        The categories of each feature determined during fitting

    Examples
    --------
