GA_Pygad

[nstrn-z]

Mr Gad,
I have a question about this error:
ValueError: Unable to coerce to Series, length must be 12: given 10000

When running a genetic algorithm with Pygad, and the Churn_Modelling dataset, I get the following error for this line of code:
output = np.sum(solution * function_inputs, axis = 1)

function_inputs = dataset.drop(['Exited'], axis = 1)
desired_output = dataset['Exited']

Help me please? What is the solution to the error?
Thank you for your attention

I think there is a mismatch between the length of these 2 variables:

1. solution
2. function_inputs

As I do not have the code, I may not be able to locate the error accurately. But for now, could you check the length of function_inputs and solution and make sure the lengths are equal?

What does PyGad stand for? And how is it pronounced?

It is written as PyGAD not PyGad.

The name is described in the paper about PyGAD: Gad, Ahmed Fawzy. "PyGAD: An Intuitive Genetic Algorithm Python Library." arXiv preprint arXiv:2106.06158 (2021).

Here is the description of the name.

Note that it is not intentional to give it my last name. The first suggestion I had for the name is PyGA but I already found a library with that name at PyPI. I added the extra character D because it was supporting only decimal genetic algorithm. At that time, I figured out that this is my last name :)

For the pronunciation, check these videos:

• 1:18 https://youtu.be/QQKYrmF4QUY?t=78

Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Thank you for your kind tips and for providing us with complete and useful information. I read all the articles and topics related to your genetic algorithm and neural networks and even used some of them in my dissertation.

Awesome! I hope things are clear in the documentation also.
