how to created new features by all features combinatoric combination

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
if we have categorical features how to created new features by all features combinatoric combination
since in real life categorical features are NOT independent , but many of them are dependent from each to others

even scikit learn can not do, but you will?

Describe the solution you'd like
for example maximum number of combined features is given: or 2 or 4 or 5

for pandas DF you can use
concatenation
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19377969/combine-two-columns-of-text-in-dataframe-in-pandas-python

columns = ['whatever', 'columns', 'you', 'choose']
df['period'] = df[columns].astype(str).sum(axis=1)

so three features combinations from 11 features
features combinatoric combination
seems to be 3 nested loops are not good for this
for i in range(1,11)
for j in range(i+1,11)
for k in range(j+1,11)

you need to get 165 new features from all combinations (not permutations )
then you get many new features

"
Another alternative that I've seen from some Kaggle masters is to join the categories in 2 different variables, into a new categorical variable, so for example, if you have the variable gender, with the values female and male, for observations 1 and 2, and the variable colour with the value blue and green for observations 1 and 2 respectively, you could create a 3rd categorical variable called gender-colour, with the values female-blue for observation 1 and male-green for observation 2. Then you would have to apply the encoding methods from section 3 to this new variable

Hi @Sandy4321 thank you for participating in the project. This repo belongs to a course on feature selection. So I think this issue is best placed in my other repo, Feature-engine. I believe you open an issue there already. Thank you.
