KeyError: 'squared_error'

analysis

KeyError error will be caused when accessing a key that is not in dict, then the parameter of criterion is squared_error may not exist. Since the parameter value is known, it is speculated that there may be a problem with your own sklearn version. Check your version of sklearn is 0.23, while the official version has already been above 1.0.

Solution:

See the official document of sklearn

scikit-learn 1.1. dev0
scikit-learn 0.23.2

You can see that different versions of the criterion parameter have different values, which can be considered

1. Change the value to the value of the corresponding version, such as’ MSE ‘.

2. Change the version of sklearn directly.

Because the official document says, “MSE” is in V1.0 has been deprecated and will be removed in version 1.2. “Squared_error” is equivalent. Therefore, the method of upgrading sklearn is adopted.

pip install scikit-learn==1.0.1
