I am new to Python and am stuck with what to do right now because I keep getting this error.I am trying to change the following equation like:
z = np.power(((float(X) * theta.T)-float(Y)), 2)
but I can't seem to get it to work.
My code:
# convert from data frames to numpy matrices
X = np.matrix(x.values)
Y = np.matrix(y.values)
theta = np.matrix(np.array([0,0]))
# cost functionstrong text
def computeCost(X, Y, theta):
z = np.power(((X * theta.T)-Y), 2)
return np.sum(z) / (2 * len(X))
print('computeCost(X, y, theta) = ' , computeCost(X, Y, theta))
the matrix is full of float numbers:
X = [[ 1. 6.1101] [ 1. 5.5277] [ 1. 8.5186] ...
The error message:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'float' and 'str'
I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks a lot
do check datatypes of your dataframe
df.info()
if there's 'object' datatype, that's your string
you may want all datatypes in your dataframe as float, you can do it
df.astype('float')
