Error with Sklearn Random Forest Regressor

Question

When trying to fit a Random Forest Regressor model with y data that looks like this:

[  0.00000000e+00   1.36094276e+02   4.46608221e+03   8.72660888e+03

   2.22855152e+05   2.34532982e+05   2.41391255e+05   2.48699216e+05

And X data that looks like this:

[ 735233.27082176  735234.27082176  735235.27082176  735236.27082176
  735237.27082176  735238.27082176  735239.27082176  735240.27082176
  735241.27082176  735242.27082176  735243.27082176  735244.27082176
  735245.27082176  735246.27082176  735247.27082176  735248.27082176

With the following code:

regressor = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=150, min_samples_split=1)
rgr = regressor.fit(X,y) 

I get this error:

ValueError: Number of labels=600 does not match number of samples=1

I assume one of my sets of values is in the wrong format but its not too clear to me from the documentation.

Answer 1

The shape of X should be [n_samples, n_features], you can transform X by

X = X[:, None]

Answer 2

It is treating your list of samples X as 1 sample as a vector so the following works

rgr = regressor.fit(map(lambda x: [x],X),y)

There might be a more efficient way of doing this in numpy with vstack.
