How to fix the following error . TypeError: __init__() got an uexpected keyword argument 'n_iter'

Question

from sklearn.mixture import GaussianMixture

gmm = GaussianMixture(
    n_components = 8, 
    n_iter = 200, 
    covariance_type='diag',
    n_init = 3
)

Answer 1

You need to give max_iter for number of EM iterations, instead of n_iter . n_iter is not valid parameter for GussianMixture model.

Doumentation

Answer 2

This should work:

from sklearn.mixture import GaussianMixture

gmm = GaussianMixture(
    n_components = 8, 
    max_iter = 200, 
    covariance_type='diag',
    n_init = 3
)
