TypeError: an integer is required in sklearn Lasso model


I seriously don't know what went wrong in my code. My data X and y look like this.

from sklearn.linear_model import Lasso
X = np.array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1,
        0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,

y = [11775,  3132,  8173,  5911]
lambda_val = 1.0023052380778996

lr = Lasso(alpha = lambda_val, fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, precompute=False,copy_X=True, max_iter=None, tol=0.0001, warm_start=False, positive=False,random_state=0, selection='cyclic')

lr.fit(X, y)

Getting an error message TypeError: an integer is required


Solution

  • For the Lasso model, you need to specify the input argument max_iter. This needs to be an integer.

    The default values is max_iter=1000 based on the documentation.

    Just use this:

    lambda_val = 1.0023052380778996
    max_iter = 10 # or whatever integer you want
    
    lr = Lasso(alpha = lambda_val, fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, precompute=False,copy_X=True, max_iter=max_iter, tol=0.0001, warm_start=False, positive=False,random_state=0, selection='cyclic')
    
    lr.fit(X, y)
