Error: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'n_splits'

问题

I am going to perform ShuffleSplit() method for California housing dataset (Source: https://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~ltorgo/Regression/cal_housing.html) to fit SGD regression.
However, the 'n_splits' error is occurred when method is applied.
The code is following:

from sklearn import cross_validation, grid_search, linear_model, metrics  
import numpy as np  
import pandas as pd


from sklearn.preprocessing import scale
from sklearn.cross_validation import ShuffleSplit


housing_data = pd.read_csv('cal_housing.csv', header = 0, sep = ',')
housing_data.fillna(housing_data.mean(), inplace=True)
df=pd.get_dummies(housing_data)


y_target = housing_data['median_house_value'].values
x_features = housing_data.drop(['median_house_value'], axis = 1)

from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split
from sklearn import model_selection

train_x, test_x, train_y, test_y = model_selection.train_test_split(x_features, y_target, test_size=0.2, random_state=4)
reg = linear_model.SGDRegressor(random_state=0)
cv = ShuffleSplit(n_splits = 10, test_size = 0.2, random_state = 0)

The error is below:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 cv = ShuffleSplit(n_splits = 10, test_size = 0.2, random_state = 0)

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'n_splits'

I updated scikit-learn with 0.18 version.

Anaconda version: 4.5.8

Could you please advise on this issue?

回答1:

You are mixing up two different modules.

Before 0.18, cross_validation was used for ShuffleSplit. In that, n_splits was not present. n was used to define the number of splits

But since you have updated to 0.18 now, cross_validation and grid_search has been deprecated in favor of model_selection.

This is mentioned in docs here, and these modules will be removed from version 0.20

So instead of this:

from sklearn.cross_validation import ShuffleSplit
from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split

Do this:

from sklearn.model_selection import ShuffleSplit
fro

m sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

Then you can use n_splits.

cv = ShuffleSplit(n_splits = 10, test_size = 0.2, random_state = 0)
