‘xgbclassifier’ object has no attribute ‘use_label_encoder’

by

Explanation

The error message “AttributeError: ‘xgbclassifier’ object has no attribute ‘use_label_encoder'” indicates that the object of type ‘xgbclassifier’ does not have an attribute named ‘use_label_encoder’.

This error can occur when using the XGBoost library’s ‘XGBClassifier’ class and trying to access the ‘use_label_encoder’ attribute which is not available in this class.

The ‘use_label_encoder’ attribute is available in newer versions of the XGBoost library (1.4.0 and above) and is used to specify whether to use label encoder for encoding the target variable. If you are using an older version of XGBoost, this attribute may not be present.

Example:

    import xgboost as xgb

    # Create an XGBClassifier object
    xgb_model = xgb.XGBClassifier()

    # Try to access the 'use_label_encoder' attribute
    result = xgb_model.use_label_encoder

In the above example, if the ‘use_label_encoder’ attribute is not available in the version of XGBoost being used, it will raise the ‘AttributeError’ with the error message mentioned.

To resolve this issue, you can check and upgrade your XGBoost library to the latest version if necessary. Alternatively, you can avoid using the ‘use_label_encoder’ attribute if it is not required for your specific task.
