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...

How to show number of registered users in Laravel based on usertype?

i'm trying to display data from the database in the admin dashboard i used this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count(); echo $users; ?> and i have successfully get the correct data from the database but what if i want to display a specific data for example in this user table there is "usertype" that specify if the user is normal user or admin i want to user the same code above but to display a specific usertype i tried this: <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; $users = DB::table('users')->count()->WHERE usertype =admin; echo $users; ?> but it didn't work, what am i doing wrong? source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68199726/how-to-show-number-of-registered-users-in-laravel-based-on-usertype

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
