For continuous and integer variables, we first apply special encoding techniques and then determine whether to handle them as continuous or discrete based on whether they have more than 20% identical values. For categorical variables, unordered encodings are transformed into binary variables. Ordered encodings undergo special encoding techniques before discrete handling.
