In traditional GLM modelling, categorical features are often treated with one-hot encoding. However, this method of encoding removes any ordering information inherent in the data. With accurate GLM, we propose to utilize an alternative encoding approach which allows us to preserve the ordering information, without requiring that the variable be converted to numeric form. In this presentation, we will introduce the accurate GLM approach to modelling, discuss what motivated the approach, and illustrate the approach through simulated data modelling exercises and a case study.
