[FIXED] Parameter Tuning GridSearchCV with Logistic Regression

Issue

I am trying to tune my Logistic Regression model, by changing its parameters.

My code:

solver_options = ['newton-cg', 'lbfgs', 'liblinear', 'sag']
multi_class_options = ['ovr', 'multinomial']
class_weight_options = ['None', 'balanced']

param_grid = dict(solver = solver_options, multi_class = 
multi_class_options, class_weight = class_weight_options)
grid = GridSearchCV(LogisticRegression, param_grid, cv=12, scoring = 
'accuracy')
grid.fit(X5, y5)
grid.grid_scores_

But this errors out:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-84-6d812a155800> in <module>()
    1 param_grid = dict(solver = solver_options, multi_class = 
multi_class_options, class_weight = class_weight_options)
    2 grid = GridSearchCV(LogisticRegression, param_grid, cv=12, scoring = 
'accuracy')
----> 3 grid.fit(X5, y5)
      4 grid.grid_scores_

     68     for name, param in six.iteritems(new_object_params):
     69         new_object_params[name] = clone(param, safe=False)

TypeError: get_params() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

Any suggestions here as to what I am doing wrong?

Solution

You need to initialize the estimator as an instance instead of passing the class directly to GridSearchCV:

lr = LogisticRegression()             # initialize the model

grid = GridSearchCV(lr, param_grid, cv=12, scoring = 'accuracy', )
grid.fit(X5, y5)
