Sklearn ValueError：输入包含 NaN、无穷大或对于 dtype（'float32'）来说太大的值

Question

I fit the following pipeline classifier:

Pipeline(memory=None,steps=[('scaler', MinMaxScaler(copy=True, feature_range=(0, 1))),
                   ('kbest', SelectKBest(k=1218,score_func=<function mutual_info_classif at 0x7fec1e4991f0>)),
                   ('classifier',RandomForestClassifier(bootstrap=True, ccp_alpha=0.0,
                                           class_weight='balanced_subsample',
                                           criterion='gini', max_depth=15,
                                           max_features='log2',
                                           max_leaf_nodes=5, max_samples=0.6,
                                           min_impurity_decrease=0.0,
                                           min_impurity_split=None,
                                           min_samples_leaf=2,
                                           min_samples_split=15,
                                           min_weight_fraction_leaf=0.0,
                                           n_estimators=50, n_jobs=None,
                                           oob_score=True, random_state=42,
                                           verbose=0, warm_start=False))],verbose=False)

It fits fine, but when I use predict on my test data I get a ValueError:

*** ValueError: Input contains NaN, infinity or a value too large for dtype('float32').

I checked for infinite and NaNs. The function raising the error is _assert_all_finite located in sklearn.utils.validation.py. I imported the function directly and ran it on the X_test array and got no errors:

from sklearn.utils import validation
validation._assert_all_finite(X_test)

How can I get an error with the exact same data when I run the predict method on the classifier? It clearly doesn't have any NaNs or Infs or it would raise an error when I directly import the function. Somewhere along the predict method, it creates those values, but I don't know when, where and why... Any help would be much appreciated!

Here's the full error message:

Answer 1

It is impossible to know how you want to handle this; the problem is laid out plainly in the error ValueError: Input contains NaN, infinity or a value too large for dtype('float32').

What we can do is make some assumptions about how you want this handled. We don't see how or where you create X_test , but, I assume it is from train_test_split , and that it is a pandas dataframe given the traceback.

So, you could do the following:

# Assumes import pandas as pd, numpy as np

# First, replace all infinity values with nan
X_train.replace([np.inf, -np.inf], np.nan), inplace=True)

# Then, replace nan values with whatever you like. This example uses 0
X_train.fillna(0, inplace=True)

# You'll probably want to repeat the same for X_Test

# First, replace all infinity values with nan
X_test.replace([np.inf, -np.inf], np.nan), inplace=True)

# Then, replace nan values with whatever you like. This example uses 0
X_test.fillna(0, inplace=True)
