cat_vals = Pipeline([(“imputer”,SimpleImputer(strategy=‘most_frequent’)), (“ohe”,OneHotEncoder(sparse=False, drop=‘first’))])
num_vals = Pipeline([(“imputer”,SimpleImputer(strategy=‘mean’)), (“scale”,StandardScaler())])

#Create the column transformer with the categorical and numerical processes
preprocess = ColumnTransformer(transformers=[
(“cat_process”, cat_vals, cat_cols),
(“num_process”, num_vals, num_cols)
])

#fit the preprocess transformer
preprocess.fit(x_train, y_train)

^^ That’s how I solved it.
