[FIXED] PyCaret cannot import name '_check_param_grid' from 'sklearn.model_selection._search'

Issue

Hi I have been trying to fix this error that keeps coming up. I have tried everything online like reinstalling sklearn to the proper version documented on the GitHub repo and website. there were many more cannot recall but if anyone has any recommendations please let me know.

Solution

This problem might be related to the version of scikit-learn package.
