XGBoost only predicts NAN after removing all NANs from the training data in python

Hi, I asked a question on StackOverflow, but they did not answer my question, so I decided to try it here.

Hello!
I’m trying to get my code to work, it used to give no errors, until I changed some things in my data and now it’s totally giving no output. It seems like the predictor predicts nan’s which I find strange, as none of the input values are nan’s. This error is raised when I run the xgb.train on a sample of 5000 of the dataset (with over 300000 observations). When I run it on a smaller sample of the dataset, this error does not occur.

The code I ran:

Statadata= pd.read_stata(‘figtemp.dta’)
Statadata = Statadata.drop(Statadata[(Statadata[‘periodf’] == 3) | (Statadata[‘periodf’] == 4)].index)
Statadata = Statadata.drop(Statadata[(Statadata[‘periods’] == 3) | (Statadata[‘periods’] == 4)].index)
Statadata.drop(Statadata[Statadata[‘zcstscoreela’].isnull()].index, inplace=True)
Statadata.drop(Statadata[Statadata[‘zcstscoremath’].isnull()].index, inplace=True)

eng = Statadata[Statadata[‘department’]==‘english’]
eng = eng.drop(eng[eng[‘zcstscoreelaprior’].isnull()].index)

math = Statadata[Statadata[‘department’]==‘math’]
math = math.drop(math[math[‘zcstscoremathprior’].isnull()].index)

y_en_gpa = eng[‘gpatotal’]
y_en_cst = eng[‘zcstscoreela’]
X_en = eng.copy()
del X_en[‘gpatotal’]
del X_en[‘zcstscoremath’]
del X_en[‘zcstscoreela’]
del X_en[‘pareduccode’]
del X_en[‘cstscoreela’]
del X_en[‘cstscoremath’]

y_math_gpa = math[‘gpatotal’]
y_math_cst = math[‘zcstscoremath’]
X_math = math.copy()
del X_math[‘gpatotal’]
del X_math[‘zcstscoremath’]
del X_math[‘zcstscoreela’]
del X_math[‘pareduccode’]
del X_math[‘cstscoreela’]
del X_math[‘cstscoremath’]

deleting the columns and rows with missing values:

missing_en=X_en.isnull().sum()

selected_en=X_en.columns[missingbool_en]
selected_en=X_en[selected_en]
selected_en=selected_en.dropna(0)

selected_math=selected_math.dropna(0)

y_math_gpa=y_math_gpa[selected_math.index]

columns_to_overwrite = [‘department’, ‘crsnamef’, ‘markf’, ‘crsnames’, ‘marks’, ‘cstlevelela’, ‘cstlevelmath’, ‘status’, ‘grade’, ‘gpaavg’]
columns_to_overwrite2 = [ ‘markf’, ‘crsnames’, ‘marks’, ‘cstlevelela’, ‘cstlevelmath’, ‘status’, ‘grade’]

new_en=pd.get_dummies(selected_en[‘crsnamef’])
for i in columns_to_overwrite2:
nieuw_en=pd.get_dummies(selected_en[i])
new_en=new_en.merge(nieuw_en, left_index=True, right_index=True, suffixes=[’_1’,’_2’])

selected_en=selected_en.drop(labels=columns_to_overwrite, axis=“columns”)
selected_en=new_en.merge(selected_en,left_index=True, right_index=True)

X_train_math_gpa, X_test_math_gpa, y_train_math_gpa, y_test_math_gpa = train_test_split(selected_math, y_math_gpa, random_state=4)
X_train_math_cst, X_test_math_cst, y_train_math_cst, y_test_math_cst = train_test_split(selected_math, y_math_cst, random_state=4)

paramstest2 = {
‘max_depth’: 8,
‘min_child_weight’: 3,
‘gamma’: 0.4,
‘subsample’: 0.7,
‘colsample_bytree’: 0.7,
}
data_train = xgb.DMatrix(X_train_math_gpa, label=y_train_math_gpa)
data_test = xgb.DMatrix(X_test_math_gpa, label=y_test_math_gpa)

model=xgb.train(paramstest2, data_train, 5000, evals=[(data_test, “test”)], verbose_eval=100, early_stopping_rounds=50)

it gives me the following error:

What can I do to solve this problem? I really need a solution as it is for a very important project. Thanks
