Nov 15, 2021 at 0:04 comment added DPM Features are not the same as independent variables here. Categorical values, unless encoded cannot be input of a linear equation, therefore, they are not independent variables in a linear equation. And that is the case here, these categorical values cannot be encoded. I edited the question to add some context.

Nov 14, 2021 at 23:36 comment added Erwan I think there is some confusion about the terms: features = independent variables = usually called x = the input information for the model. target = dependent variable = usually called y = the output that the model predicts.
Nov 14, 2021 at 23:22 comment added Peter What is $y$ and $x$ here? I suppose you want to include the categorical features as $x$ (independent variables). Did you check „dummy encoding“. The question/problem is not clear to me.
