Python Valueerror: Non-broadcastable Output Operand With Shape (124,1) Doesn't Match The Broadcast Shape (124,13)

I would like to normalize a training and test data set using MinMaxScaler in sklearn.preprocessing. However, the package does not appear to be accepting my test data set. import pa

Solution 1:

The partitioning of train/test data must be specified in the same order as the input array to the train_test_split() function for it to unpack them corresponding to that order.

Clearly, when the order was specified as X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test, the resulting shapes of y_train (len(y_train)=54) and X_test (len(X_test)=124) got swapped resulting in the ValueError.

Instead, you must:

# Split into train/test data.#                   _________________________________
#                   |       |                        \
#                   |       |                         \
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3, random_state=0)                                        
# |          |                                      /
# |__________|_____________________________________/
# (or)
# y_train, y_test, X_train, X_test = train_test_split(y, X, test_size=0.3, random_state=0)

# Normalize features using min-max scaling.
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
mms = MinMaxScaler()
X_train_norm = mms.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test_norm = mms.transform(X_test)

produces:
