How to resolve the error- found input variables with inconsistent numbers of samples?
Fairly new to Python but building out my first RF model based on some classification data. I've converted all of the labels into int64 numerical data and loaded them into X and Y as a numpy array, but I am hitting an error when I am trying to train the models.
Here is what my arrays look like:
>>> X = np.array([[df.tran_cityname, df.tran_signupos, df.tran_signupchannel, df.tran_vmake, df.tran_vmodel, df.tran_vyear]])
>>> Y = np.array(df['completed_trip_status'].values.tolist())
>>> X
array([[[ 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1,
3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 3, 3,
2, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1],

2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1,
2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 1],
[ 0, 0, 0, 42, 17, 8, 42, 0, 0, 0, 22,
0, 22, 0, 0, 42, 0, 0, 0, 0, 11, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 28, 17, 18],

ValueError: Found input variables with inconsistent numbers of samples: [1, 29]
To resolve the error- found input variables with inconsistent numbers of samples, you must understand that - You are running into that error because your X and Y don't have the same length (which is what train_test_split requires), i.e., X.shape[0] != Y.shape[0]. Given your current code:
>>> X.shape
(1, 6, 29)
>>> Y.shape
(29,)
To fix this error:Remove the extra list from inside of np.array() when defining X or remove the extra dimension afterwards with the following command: X = X.reshape(X.shape[1:]). Now, the shape of X will be (6, 29). Transpose X by running X = X.transpose() to get an equal number of samples in X and Y. Now, the shape of X will be (29, 6) and the shape of Y will be (29,).
