Arguments: top_n (int): Number of categories per column to encode. If None, all categories will be encoded. Otherwise, the `n` most frequent will be encoded and all others will be dropped. Defaults to 10. features_to_encode (list[str]): List of columns to encode. All other columns will remain untouched. If None, all appropriate columns will be encoded. Defaults to None. categories (list): A two dimensional list of categories, where `categories[i]` is a list of the categories for the column at index `i`. This can also be `None`, or `"auto"` if `top_n` is not None. Defaults to None. drop (string, list): Method ("first" or "if_binary") to use to drop one category per feature. Can also be a list specifying which method to use for each feature. Defaults to None. handle_unknown (string): Whether to ignore or error for unknown categories for a feature encountered during `fit` or `transform`. If either `top_n` or `categories` is used to limit the number of categories per column, this must be "ignore".

If this is set to "as_category" and NaN values are within the `n` most frequent, "nan" values will be encoded as their own column. If this is set to "error", any missing values encountered will raise an error. Defaults to "error".
