As of pandas 2.0, data in pandas can be stored in PyArrow arrays in addition to NumPy arrays. PyArrow arrays provide a wide range of data types compared to NumPy.
One significant advantage of PyArrow arrays is their string datatype, which offers superior speed and memory efficiency than storing strings using object types.

By default, scikit-learn transformers return a NumPy array. This can pose a challenge if a pandas DataFrame is required for subsequent data processing steps.
Luckily, as of scikit-learn version 1.3.2, you can use the set_output method to obtain the results as a pandas DataFrame.
This method is not limited to individual transformers but can also be applied within a scikit-learn pipeline.
