Error with RandomForestRegressor

[jlillo]

Hello Solene, I am trying to use your BEM code but I am having problems when running the exemples of the documentation in the random_forest_regression part. I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'RandomForestRegressor' object has no attribute 'max_samples'

I am using python 3.7.2 and the version 0.22.1 of sklearn. Any idea of what can be going on?
Thanks!
Jorge

Hello Jorge, yes it's a problem with the sklearn version. I am using sklearn 0.20.3 and Python 3.6.9. If you have anaconda, you can create a conda environment with this version of sklearn (and the python version 3.6.9 but I am not sure if it's needed). I think it would be the easiest because the random forest model is already computed and saved in a pickle file created under a previous version of sklearn without this option "max_sample". You can see in the docs that the option "max_sample" was added in sklearn 0.22. I hope it helps !
