Answer for converting Categorical data to numerical.

Hi Ganesh, 

one approach would be to do a mapping of the variables in the form of dictionary, like you suggested unemployed becomes 0, etc. :

dict = {"occupation": "unemployed": 1, ...

Then you can use the replace() method on your data frame to directly assign the new values:

your_data.replace(dict, inplace=True)

Here’s a link with more on the topic:

Best,
