Add novel-value handing method to step_woe about embed HOT 4 CLOSED

They are very different models. We can do that in the likelihood encoding and embedding steps because of their probabilistic models. WoE doesn't have the same properties.

Hi Max,

I really want to use WoE transformation in my project, but I need it to be able to handle novel values or else my script will fail.

What if the user could specify novel values to be set to 0 like this other WoE encoder does?

Is there another way to handle novel values in a WoE transformation that I am overlooking?

Thanks

You can use step_novel() beforehand.
