Programming Machine Learning: matplotlib broadcast error on page 58

When I try to run the code multiple_regression_without_bias.py from page 58 of the book, I get the following error:

File “[path snipped]/multilple_regression_without_bias.py”, line 13, in gradient
return 2 * np.matmul(X.T * (predict(X, w) - Y)) / X.shape[0]
ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (3,30) (30,1)

This happens whether I run the code I’ve typed in or the code I’ve downloaded from the PragProg website.

For information, my versions are:
Python 3.9.7
Numpy 1.26.3

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, @tihnessa! Sorry for the slow reply. I was on travel.

Somehow, the code you’re using isn’t the same as in the current book and downloadable code. It’s not:

return 2 * np.matmul(X.T * (predict(X, w) - Y)) / X.shape[0]

but rather:

return 2 * np.matmul(X.T, (predict(X, w) - Y)) / X.shape[0]

(Note the comma after X.T, as opposed to the multiplication).

I have no idea what happened here. Maybe this was a bug in the book that I later fixed, and you have an older version of the book+code? Or maybe you were experimenting with the code and changed that line? In any case, that seems to be the issue.

Can you please confirm that you got it fixed?

Where Next?
