scikit.learn cross_val_score 中的错误

Question

please refer to the notebook at the following address

LogisticRegression

this portion of code,

scores = cross_val_score(LogisticRegression(), X, y, scoring='accuracy', cv=10)
print scores
print scores.mean()

generates the following error in a window 7 64bit machine

I am using scikit.learn 0.15.2, it is suggested here that may a specific problem for windows 7, 64 bit machine.

==============update==============

I found the following code actually works

 from sklearn.cross_validation import KFold
 cv = KFold(X.shape[0], 10, shuffle=True, random_state=33)
 scores = cross_val_score(LogisticRegression(), X, y, scoring='accuracy', cv=cv)
 print scores

==============update 2=============

it seems due to some package update, I can no longer reproduce such error on my machine. If you are facing the same issue on a windows 7 64bit machine, please let me know.

Answer 1

I had the same error you got and was looking for answers when I found this question.

I used the same sklearn.cross_validation.cross_val_score (except different algorithm) and the same machine windows 7, 64 bit.

I tried your solution from above and it "worked", but it gave me the following warning:

C:\\Users\\E245713\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\sklearn\\cross_validation.py:1531: DataConversionWarning: A column-vector y was passed when a 1d array was expected. Please change the shape of y to (n_samples, ), for example using ravel(). estimator.fit(X_train, y_train, **fit_params)

After reading the warning, I figured that the problem has something to do with the shape of 'y' (my label column). The keyword to try from the warning is "ravel()". So, I tried the following:

y_arr = pd.DataFrame.as_matrix(label)
print(y_arr)
print(y_arr.shape())

which gave me

  [[1]
   [0]
   [1]
   .., 
   [0]
   [0]
   [1]]

  (87939, 1)

When I added 'ravel()':

y_arr = pd.DataFrame.as_matrix(label).ravel()
print(y_arr)
print(y_arr.shape())

it gave me:

[1 0 1 ..., 0 0 1]

(87939,)

The dimension of 'y_arr' has to be in the form of (87939,) not (87939,1). After that my original cross_val_score worked without adding the Kfold code.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I know the answer is late.
But this answer might help other people struggling with same error. I have same issue with python 3.6 Upon changing from 3.6 to 3.5 ,I am able to use the function.
Below is the sample which i ran:

accuracies = cross_val_score(estimator = classifier, X = X_train, y = y_train, cv = 10, n_jobs = -1)

First create conda env with 3.5 version.

conda create -n py35 python=3.5  
source activate py35  

Hope this should help to move ahead

Answer 3

导入这个模块，它应该可以工作：

from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
