TypeError: Issue with GridSearchCV

Question

I am trying to use GridSearchCV and Pipeline to check parameters of SVM. The code is as follows.

parameter={'svm_C':(0.1, 1, 10, 100), 'svm_gamma':(0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 10)}
pipe=Pipeline([("scaler", StandardScaler), ("svm", SVC())])
print(parameter)
print(pipe)

print(xtrain.shape)
print(ytrain1.shape)
grid=GridSearchCV(pipe, parameter, cv=3, n_jobs=-1)
grid.fit(xtrain,ytrain1)
print("Best set score:{}".format(grid.best_score_))
print("Test set Score:{}".format(grid.score(xtest,ytest1)))
print("Best paameters:{}".format(grid.best_params_))
filename='finalized_svm.sav'
filename1='gridfinal_svm.sav'
joblib.dump(best_estimator_, filename)
joblib.dump(grid, filename1)
pred=grid.predict(xtest)
confusion=confusion_matrix(ytest1,pred), print(confusion)

I loaded some .mat files for xtrain and ytrain. The issue is generated in line "grid.fit(xtrain,ytrain1)".

The error generated is as follows

    new_object_params = estimator.get_params(deep=False)
TypeError: get_params() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

By using parameter={'svm_C':(0.1, 1, 10, 100), 'svm_gamma':(0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 10)} pipe=Pipeline([("scaler", StandardScaler()), the error comes out

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

You are doing ("scaler", StandardScaler). Here StandardScaler is a class, not an instance. You need to instantiate it by using () after it. Like this: ("scaler", StandardScaler()), just as you correctly did with the SVC after it. — Vivek Kumar
I tried ("scaler", StandardScaler()), then i get above mentioned error. — M. Jangra

I have done what you want to do in this way, and it is working:

    # Setup the pipeline
    steps = [('scaler', StandardScaler()),
             ('SVM', SVC())]

    pipeline = Pipeline(steps)

    # Specify the hyperparameter space
    parameters = {'SVM__C':[1, 10, 100],
                  'SVM__gamma':[0.1, 0.01]}

I see 2 differences respect to your code:

When defining the steps in the pipeline instantination you write StandardScaler, without parenthesis:

Your code is:
```
pipe=Pipeline([("scaler", StandardScaler), ("svm", SVC())])
```
In my code I write StandardScaler(), look:
```
steps = [('scaler', StandardScaler()),('SVM', SVC())]
pipeline = Pipeline(steps)
```
The second difference is that when you specify the keys for your parameters grid parameters. You provide the keys: 'svm_C', 'svm_gamma' instead of 'SVM__C' and 'SVM__gamma' respectively.

You need double-under_square _+_ , this is, __ , as the 1st person that answered your question said before.

So, instead to write :

    parameter={'svm_C':(0.1, 1, 10, 100), 'svm_gamma':(0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 10)}

You should write

    parameters = {'SVM__C':[1, 10, 100],'SVM__gamma':[0.1, 0.01]}

I even have gotten an error writting 'svm__c' instead of 'SVM__C' and 'svm__gamma' instead of 'SVM__gamma'. This last I do not why.

I hope, it helps
