Categorical Variables in Counterfactuals

[Sreenath2019]

Hi, I started using this amazing library for a recent project and have a got a question regarding the categorical variables.
In the example here, we do one-hot encoding for the categorical variables (e.g. education).

However, while creating the counterfactuals, with permitted_range, we still treat the categorical variables as they are i.e. with different levels
e.g. permitted_range={'age': [20, 30], 'education': ['Doctorate', 'Prof-school']}.

I am a bit confused with this one. Will be great if anyone can help me with this. Thanks

@Sreenath2019, sorry did not see this until today. The permitted_range feature constraints that feature to take only the values that you specify for that feature. For instance in your example the generated counterfactuals will only takes values for "education" from 'Doctorate' and 'Prof-school'. Does that answer your question?
