Open Vedavyasa21 opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

This PR adds a simple example that demonstrates how to represent many-to-many relationships in Featuretools using an association (bridge) entity.

Details

  • Added new example: docs/source/examples/many_to_many_relationship.py
  • Shows how two one-to-many relationships (students → enrollments, courses → enrollments) can model a many-to-many relationship.
  • Clarifies how users can structure data for Deep Feature Synthesis in such cases.

Motivation

Addresses #54 and helps clarify the concept of "association entities" for new users.

Checklist

  • [x] Follows existing demo structure
  • [x] References relevant issue (#54)
