Found array with 0 sample(s) (shape=(0, 1)) while a minimum of 1 is required

Time:12-25

This error keeps coming when I try to find MI values. My code is as follows

X_new = X.copy()
X_new = X_new.fillna(0)
y = data.SalePrice


def make_mi_scores(X, y):
    X = X.copy()
    for colname in X.select_dtypes(["object", "category"]):
        X[colname], _ = X[colname].factorize()       
    discrete_features = [pd.api.types.is_integer_dtype(t) for t in X.dtypes]   
    mi_scores = mutual_info_regression(X, y, discrete_features=discrete_features, random_state=0)
    mi_scores = pd.Series(mi_scores, name="MI Scores", index=X.columns)
    mi_scores = mi_scores.sort_values(ascending=False)
    return mi_scores

def plot_mi_scores(scores):
    scores = scores.sort_values(ascending=True)
    width = np.arange(len(scores))
    ticks = list(scores.index)
    plt.barh(width, scores)
    plt.yticks(width, ticks)
    plt.title("Mutual Information Scores")
    
plt.figure(dpi=100, figsize=(8, 5))
plot_mi_scores(make_mi_scores(X_new,y))

There were only a few places where this question was asked and even in those places I was unable to find any answers to my question

CodePudding user response:

The issue is arising where you are calling mutual_info_regression over here -

mi_scores = mutual_info_regression(X, y, discrete_features=discrete_features, random_state=0)

As per sklearn's documentation, the parameter discrete_features should be a boolean mask that has True for discrete variables and False otherwise.

I checked your Kaggle code and it seems like your technique for identifying discrete and continuous features in your data frame is wrong.

A simple hack to get the code running would be to identify all features as continuous using the following code -

discrete_features = [False]*73
# 73 is the number of columns X has

However, the result might be wrong if the mutual_info_regression algorithm requires you to accurately identify discrete and continuous features.
