训练数据集包括1460个样本、80个特征和1个标签。

train_data.shape

测试数据集包括1459个样本和80个特征。我们需要将测试数据集中每个样本的标签预测出来。

test_data.shape

让我们来查看前4个样本的前4个特征、后2个特征和标签（SalePrice）：

train_data.iloc[0:4, [0, 1, 2, 3, -3, -2, -1]]

all_features = pd.concat((train_data.iloc[:, 1:-1], test_data.iloc[:, 1:]))

numeric_features = all_features.dtypes[all_features.dtypes != 'object'].index
all_features[numeric_features] = all_features[numeric_features].apply(
    lambda x: (x - x.mean()) / (x.std()))
# 标准化后，每个数值特征的均值变为0，所以可以直接用0来替换缺失值
all_features[numeric_features] = all_features[numeric_features].fillna(0)

接下来将离散数值转成指示特征。举个例子，假设特征MSZoning里面有两个不同的离散值RL和RM，那么这一步转换将去掉MSZoning特征，并新加两个特征MSZoning_RL和MSZoning_RM，其值为0或1。如果一个样本原来在MSZoning里的值为RL，那么有MSZoning_RL=1且MSZoning_RM=0。、

# dummy_na=True将缺失值也当作合法的特征值并为其创建指示特征
all_features = pd.get_dummies(all_features, dummy_na=True)
all_features.shape

可以看到这一步转换将特征数从79增加到了331。

最后，通过values属性得到NumPy格式的数据，并转成Tensor方便后面的训练。

n_train = train_data.shape[0]
train_features = torch.tensor(all_features[:n_train].values, dtype=torch.float)
test_features = torch.tensor(all_features[n_train:].values, dtype=torch.float)
train_labels = torch.tensor(train_data.SalePrice.values, dtype=torch.float).view(-1, 1)

训练模型

loss = torch.nn.MSELoss()

def get_net(feature_num):
    net = nn.Linear(feature_num, 1)
    for param in net.parameters():
        nn.init.normal_(param, mean=0, std=0.01)
    return net

def log_rmse(net, features, labels):
    with torch.no_grad():
        # 将小于1的值设成1，使得取对数时数值更稳定
        clipped_preds = torch.max(net(features), torch.tensor(1.0))
        rmse = torch.sqrt(2 * loss(clipped_preds.log(), labels.log()).mean())
    return rmse.item()

下面的训练函数跟本章中前几节的不同在于使用了Adam优化算法。相对之前使用的小批量随机梯度下降，它对学习率相对不那么敏感。我们将在之后的“优化算法”一章里详细介绍它。

def train(net, train_features, train_labels, test_features, test_labels,
          num_epochs, learning_rate, weight_decay, batch_size):
    train_ls, test_ls = [], []
    dataset = torch.utils.data.TensorDataset(train_features, train_labels)
    train_iter = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset, batch_size, shuffle=True)
    # 这里使用了Adam优化算法
    optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(params=net.parameters(), lr=learning_rate, weight_decay=weight_decay) 
    net = net.float()
    for epoch in range(num_epochs):
        for X, y in train_iter:
            l = loss(net(X.float()), y.float())
            optimizer.zero_grad()
            l.backward()
            optimizer.step()
        train_ls.append(log_rmse(net, train_features, train_labels))
        if test_labels is not None:
            test_ls.append(log_rmse(net, test_features, test_labels))
    return train_ls, test_ls

def get_k_fold_data(k, i, X, y):
    # 返回第i折交叉验证时所需要的训练和验证数据
    assert k > 1
    fold_size = X.shape[0] // k
    X_train, y_train = None, None
    for j in range(k):
        idx = slice(j * fold_size, (j + 1) * fold_size)
        X_part, y_part = X[idx, :], y[idx]
        if j == i:
            X_valid, y_valid = X_part, y_part
        elif X_train is None:
            X_train, y_train = X_part, y_part
        else:
            X_train = torch.cat((X_train, X_part), dim=0)
            y_train = torch.cat((y_train, y_part), dim=0)
    return X_train, y_train, X_valid, y_valid

def k_fold(k, X_train, y_train, num_epochs,
           learning_rate, weight_decay, batch_size):
    train_l_sum, valid_l_sum = 0, 0
    for i in range(k):
        data = get_k_fold_data(k, i, X_train, y_train)
        net = get_net(X_train.shape[1])
        train_ls, valid_ls = train(net, *data, num_epochs, learning_rate,
                                   weight_decay, batch_size)
        train_l_sum += train_ls[-1]
        valid_l_sum += valid_ls[-1]
        if i == 0:
            d2l.semilogy(range(1, num_epochs + 1), train_ls, 'epochs', 'rmse',
                         range(1, num_epochs + 1), valid_ls,
                         ['train', 'valid'])
        print('fold %d, train rmse %f, valid rmse %f' % (i, train_ls[-1], valid_ls[-1]))
    return train_l_sum / k, valid_l_sum / k

k, num_epochs, lr, weight_decay, batch_size = 5, 100, 5, 0, 64
train_l, valid_l = k_fold(k, train_features, train_labels, num_epochs, lr, weight_decay, batch_size)
print('%d-fold validation: avg train rmse %f, avg valid rmse %f' % (k, train_l, valid_l))

预测并在Kaggle中提交结果

下面定义预测函数。在预测之前，我们会使用完整的训练数据集来重新训练模型，并将预测结果存成提交所需要的格式。

def train_and_pred(train_features, test_features, train_labels, test_data,
                   num_epochs, lr, weight_decay, batch_size):
    net = get_net(train_features.shape[1])
    train_ls, _ = train(net, train_features, train_labels, None, None,
                        num_epochs, lr, weight_decay, batch_size)
    d2l.semilogy(range(1, num_epochs + 1), train_ls, 'epochs', 'rmse')
    print('train rmse %f' % train_ls[-1])
    preds = net(test_features).detach().numpy()
    test_data['SalePrice'] = pd.Series(preds.reshape(1, -1)[0])
    submission = pd.concat([test_data['Id'], test_data['SalePrice']], axis=1)
    submission.to_csv('./submission.csv', index=False)
    # sample_submission_data = pd.read_csv("../input/house-prices-advanced-regression-techniques/sample_submission.csv")

设计好模型并调好超参数之后，下一步就是对测试数据集上的房屋样本做价格预测。如果我们得到与交叉验证时差不多的训练误差，那么这个结果很可能是理想的，可以在Kaggle上提交结果。
