I'm a beginner in Machine Learning and I'm trying to learn by working through Kaggle's Titanic problem. From what I know, I've made sure that the metrics are in sync with one another but of course I blame myself for this problem and not Python. However, I still couldn't find the source and Spyder IDE is no help.
This is my code:
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeRegressor
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
"""Assigning the train & test datasets' adresses to variables"""
train_path = "C:\\Users\\Omar\\Downloads\\Titanic Data\\train.csv"
test_path = "C:\\Users\\Omar\\Downloads\\Titanic Data\\test.csv"
"""Using pandas' read_csv() function to read the datasets
and then assigning them to their own variables"""
train_data = pd.read_csv(train_path)
test_data = pd.read_csv(test_path)
"""Using pandas' factorize() function to represent genders (male/female)
with binary values (0/1)"""
train_data['Sex'] = pd.factorize(train_data.Sex)[0]
test_data['Sex'] = pd.factorize(test_data.Sex)[0]
"""Replacing missing values in the training and test dataset with 0"""
train_data.fillna(0.0, inplace = True)
test_data.fillna(0.0, inplace = True)
"""Selecting features for training"""
columns_of_interest = ['Pclass', 'Sex', 'Age']
"""Dropping missing/NaN values from the training dataset"""
filtered_titanic_data = train_data.dropna(axis=0)
"""Using the predictory features in the data to handle the x axis"""
x = filtered_titanic_data[columns_of_interest]
"""The survival (what we're trying to find) is the y axis"""
y = filtered_titanic_data.Survived
"""Splitting the train data with test"""
train_x, val_x, train_y, val_y = train_test_split(x, y, random_state=0)
"""Assigning the DecisionTreeRegressor model to a variable"""
titanic_model = DecisionTreeRegressor()
"""Fitting the x and y values with the model"""
titanic_model.fit(train_x, train_y)
"""Predicting the x-axis"""
val_predictions = titanic_model.predict(val_x)
"""Assigning the feature columns from the test to a variable"""
test_x = test_data[columns_of_interest]
"""Predicting the test by feeding its x axis into the model"""
test_predictions = titanic_model.predict(test_x)
"""Printing the prediction"""
print(val_predictions)
"""Checking for the accuracy"""
print(accuracy_score(val_y, val_predictions))
"""Printing the test prediction"""
print(test_predictions)
and this is the stacktrace:
