Instance attributes

needs_fitting
parameters	Returns the parameters which were used to initialize the component

Methods:

__init__	Initializes a transformer that encodes categorical features into target encodings.
clone	Constructs a new component with the same parameters and random state.
describe	Describe a component and its parameters
fit	Fits component to data
fit_transform	Fits on X and transforms X
get_feature_names	Return feature names for the input features after fitting.
load	Loads component at file path
save	Saves component at file path
transform	Transforms data X.
