I've seen other posts talking about this but anyone of these can help me. I am using jupyter notebook with Python 3.6.0 on windows x6 machine. I have a large dataset but I keep only a piece of it to run my models:
This is a piece of code that i used:
df = loan_2.reindex(columns= ['term_clean','grade_clean', 'annual_inc', 'loan_amnt', 'int_rate','purpose_clean','installment','loan_status_clean'])
df.fillna(method= 'ffill').astype(int)
from sklearn.preprocessing import Imputer
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
imp = Imputer(missing_values='NaN', strategy='median', axis=0)
array = df.values
y = df['loan_status_clean'].values
imp.fit(array)
array_imp = imp.transform(array)
y2= y.reshape(1,-1)
imp.fit(y2)
y_imp= imp.transform(y2)
X = array_imp[:,0:4]
Y = array_imp[:,4]
validation_size = 0.20
seed = 7
X_train, X_validation, Y_train, Y_validation = model_selection.train_test_split(X, Y, test_size=validation_size, random_state=seed)
seed = 7
scoring = 'accuracy'
from sklearn import model_selection

from sklearn.ensemble import AdaBoostClassifier
from sklearn.neural_network import MLPClassifier

models.append(('BNB', BernoulliNB()))
models.append(('RF', RandomForestClassifier()))
models.append(('GBM', AdaBoostClassifier()))
models.append(('NN', MLPClassifier()))
models.append(('SVM', SVC()))
# evaluate each model in turn
results = []
names = []
for name, model in models:
kfold = model_selection.KFold(n_splits=10, random_state=seed)
cv_results = model_selection.cross_val_score(model, X_train, Y_train, cv=kfold, scoring=scoring)
results.append(cv_results)
names.append(name)
msg = "%s: %f (%f)" % (name, cv_results.mean(), cv_results.std())
print(msg)
When I run the last one piece of code this error comes up:

Brief assumption: my data are clean from NaN and Missing Value in general.
The solution of your problem is that you need regression model instead of classification model so: istead of these two lines:
from sklearn.svm import SVC
..
..
models.append(('SVM', SVC()))
use these:
from sklearn.svm import SVR
..
..
models.append(('SVM', SVR()))
Classifier expect in Y_train only integer values (labels of classes). But it get float and raise this error. If you doing a regression, use the regressors instead of classifiers. Or if you need a classification, check y_train. May be this part of your code transform it to float:
imp = Imputer(missing_values='NaN', strategy='median', axis=0)
array = df.values
imp.fit(array)
array_imp = imp.transform(array)
Y = array_imp[:,4]
try change it to
Y = array[:,4] # take it from not changed data
imp = Imputer(missing_values='NaN', strategy='median', axis=0)
array = df.values
imp.fit(array)
array_imp = imp.transform(array)
