Is pd.get_dummies one-hot encoding?

Question

Answer 1

First question: yes, pd.get_dummies() is one-hot encoding in its default state; see example below, from pd.get_dummies docs:

s = pd.Series(list('abca'))
pd.get_dummies(s, drop_first=False)

Second question: [edited now that OP includes code example] yes, if you are one-hot encoding the inputs to a logistic regression model, it is appropriate to skip the intercept.
