When I run the code
Smarket.corr(numeric_only=True)
, I get the following warning:
corr() got an unexpected keyword argument 'numeric_only'

There appears to be a solution:

Smarket = Smarket.select_dtypes(include='number')
Smarket.corr()

This appears to achieve the intended result.

Hi @jonathan-taylor ,

I think any preprocessing like standardization should be done before the train/test split to avoid data leakage. In Lab 04, in cells 53-57 the whole dataset is first standardized and then split. I suggest the train / test split should be done as a first step. Then a standardization fit_transform() should take place on X_train only and then finally scaler.transform() on X_test. This approach avoids the

(X_train,
 X_test,
 y_train,
 y_test) = train_test_split(np.asarray(feature_std),
                            Purchase,
                            test_size=1000,
                            random_state=0)

Hello -

the frozen versions of various packages currently shown in this project's requirements.txt cannot be installed in Python 3.12 environments. To proceed with the installation, versions for several dependencies need to updated.
Updated list:
numpy==1.26.4
scipy==1.11.4
pandas==2.2.2
lxml==5.2.2
scikit-learn
joblib==1.4.2
statsmodels==0.14.2
lifelines==0.28.0
pygam==0.9.1
l0bnb==1.0.0
torch==2.3.0
torchvision==0.18.0
pytorch-lightning==2.2.4
torchinfo==1.8.0
torchmetrics==1.4.0
ISLP==0.3.18

Note: I just finished setting this up, so this still needs further testing.

In Ch02-statlearn-lab.ipynb, should the circled text say ax.contour? instead? It does not look like plt has been defined at this point in the notebook. Also, all previous occurrences of displaying documentation have the question mark after the function, so maybe add a note that both ?fun and fun? will cause Python to display documentation associated with the function fun.

pytorch_lighting.utilities.seed.seed_everything() appears to have been deprecated in the 2.0 release. For use of this function, latest available version with it is 1.9.5.

This function is referenced in the Chapter 10 lab.

This line of code needs to be updated:

When I try to repeat the lab from Chapter 10 about Neural Networks, Hitters dataset. I run into:

RuntimeError: 
        An attempt has been made to start a new process before the
        current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.

        This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
        child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
        in the main module:

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                freeze_support()
                ...

RuntimeError: DataLoader worker (pid(s) 7156, 796, 15192, 304) exited unexpectedly.

So I assume it has something to do with multiprocessing, data_loader but I'm total newbie here.

Hi, I think I found an error in the code snippet in exercise 2 in Chapter 5.

In the book (page 225) it's given as:

rng = np.random.default_rng(10) 
store = np.empty(10000)
for i in range(10000):
    store[i] = np.sum(rng.choice(100, replace=True) == 4) >0
np.mean(store)

During each iteration, only one number is chosen instead of a full sample.

I think it should be corrected to:

rng = np.random.default_rng(10) 
store = np.empty(10000)
for i in range(10000):
    store[i] = np.sum(rng.choice(100, size=100, replace=True) == 4) >0
    # as we would like to sample 100 observations at each attempt and check if 4 is among them
np.mean(store)

It gives 0.6362 which is the probability of the jth observation chosen when n goes infinity.

There is a missing output at [103] of the PDF https://hastie.su.domains/ISLP/ISLP_website.pdf. It corresponds to [104] of https://github.com/intro-stat-learning/ISLP_labs/blob/v2/Ch02-statlearn-lab.ipynb

Going forward I would like to make sure that all notebooks are executed once they have been committed. This will add some extra level(s) of robustness. This could be done in the context of a JupyterBook that would iterate over all of them and put them into a book.
