Python fmin - TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'tuple' ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence

I am trying to minimize my likelihood function with the par parameter only, the rest: n,T,r,log_x, gft_y are supposed to be fixed in the optimization. When I put them in the args to fix them I get back the following errors:

TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'tuple'

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

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\phelg\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_16344/2785678381.py", line 4, in <module>
    result = fmin(mrg_lik,initial_guess, args)

  File "C:\Users\phelg\anaconda3\envs\Financial_Econometrics\lib\site-packages\scipy\optimize\optimize.py", line 580, in fmin
    res = _minimize_neldermead(func, x0, args, callback=callback, **opts)

  File "C:\Users\phelg\anaconda3\envs\Financial_Econometrics\lib\site-packages\scipy\optimize\optimize.py", line 750, in _minimize_neldermead
    fsim[k] = func(sim[k])

ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.

The likelihood function:

def likelihood(par,n,T,r,log_x,gft_y):
    # takes inputs par, n, T, r,log_x and gft_y
    # returns F,log_h,gft_q,u,v,z and Gamma
    A=np.zeros(shape=(T,n,n))
    B=np.zeros(shape=(T,n,n))
    try:
        for t in range(0,T):
            A[t]= mapping(gft_q[t], 10e-8)[0]
        for t in range(0,T):
            B[t]= np.diag(np.sqrt(np.exp(log_h[t])))
        for t in range(0,T):
            lik = -0.5*(n*np.log(2*pi) + np.log(np.linalg.det(A[t]@B[t]@A[t])) +(z[t] /A[t] @z[t].T))
    except ValueError:
        print("Error: input is of wrong format")    
    F = -(np.sum(lik))
    return F,log_h,gft_q,u,v,z,Gamma
    print(F,log_h,gft_q,u,v,z,Gamma)
    
par= np.ones(shape=(26,))
result = likelihood(par,n,T,r,log_x,gft_y)

The optimization:

from scipy.optimize import fmin
initial_guess = np.full((126,), 0.1)
args = (n,T,r,log_x,gft_y) #fixed arguments in likelihood function during optimization
result = fmin(likelihood,initial_guess,args) #should give back the par which minimize the likelihood
fitted_params = result.x

Update: The likelihood function returned more than one result and the fmin function was trying to minimize them all. Correction:

return F

instead

return F,log_h,gft_q,u,v,z,Gamma

Now I finally got the fmin function running without errors. Note that my code is wrong in a way that the results for the optimization are incorrect (it gives me an array with the initial_guess in it). But that is another issue to solve...

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings
