Linear regression suing Scikitlearn(linear regression)

Question

Here is my scenarion.

data = [[25593.14, 39426.66],
        [98411.00, 81869.75],
        [71498.80, 62495.80],
        [38068.00, 54774.00],
        [58188.00, 43453.65],
        [10220.00, 18465.25]]

About data is my data model.

x-cordinates refers "Salary" y-cordinates refers "Expenses"

I want to predict the expense when I give "Salary" i.e., X-coordinate.

Here is my sample code. Please help me out.

from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

data = [[25593.14, 39426.66],
        [98411.00, 81869.75],
        [71498.80, 62495.80],
        [38068.00, 54774.00],
        [58188.00, 43453.65],
        [10220.00, 18465.25]]

salary=[]
expenses=[]

for dataset in data:
    # import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
    salary.append(dataset[0])
    expenses.append(dataset[1])

model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(salary, expenses)
prediction = model.predict([10200.00])
print(prediction)

Error which I got:

ValueError: Expected 2D array, got 1D array instead:
array=[ 25593.14  98411.    71498.8   38068.    58188.    10220.  ].
Reshape your data either using array.reshape(-1, 1) if your data has a single feature or array.reshape(1, -1) if it contains a single sample

.

The error tells you what to do and what the problem is (and there are probably 5 other questions here in regards to this error). I highly recommend reading sklearn's docs to see what shapes are expected. After that, read some numpy docs to not do that list-append stuff you are doing! — sascha
To add to the above, the first argument of this line: model.fit(salary, expenses) is where the error is occurring, it expects a matrix of training data for the first argument, "X". This may help — fenrisulfr

As suggested by the comments, something like this would be a better way to work with data you want to feed into a scikit learn model. Another example can be seen here.

from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
import numpy as np

data = np.array(
        [[25593.14, 39426.66],
        [98411.00, 81869.75],
        [71498.80, 62495.80],
        [38068.00, 54774.00],
        [58188.00, 43453.65],
        [10220.00, 18465.25]]
).T

salary = data[0].reshape(-1, 1)
expenses = data[1]

model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(salary, expenses)
prediction = model.predict(np.array([10200.00]).reshape(-1, 1))
print(prediction)
