LightGBMError “Check failed: num_data > 0” with Sklearn RandomizedSearchCV

I’m trying LightGBMRegressor parameter tuning with Sklearn RandomizedSearchCV. I got an error with message below.

error:

LightGBMError: b'Check failed: num_data > 0 at /src/LightGBM/src/io/dataset.cpp, line 27 .n'

I cannot tell why and the specific parameters caused this error. Any of params_dist below was not suitable for train_x.shape:(1630, 1565)?

Please tell me any hints or solutions. Thank you.

LightGBM version: ‘2.0.12’

function caused this error:

Answer

Minimum value of bagging_fraction and feature_fraction could be too small. I changed the distribution to “sp.stats.uniform(loc=0.1, scale=0.9)” and it works.
