Hi,

I do have this ValueError: continuous format is not supported problem again.

auc_roc = roc_auc_score(fpr, tpr)

#"roc_auc" is a classification or ranking metric, not a regression metric. So it doesn't accept continuous

#However, I see no NaN values according to my test:

for num in fpr:
if num != num:
print ('This array has a NaN element') #all good, no nan in fpr
break
for num in tpr:
if num != num:
print ('This array has a NaN element') #all good, no nan in tpr
break

fpr and tpr have a few hundred rows so I dont think I can print them here.

please, repost/edit your post in order to show correct indentation of your code. Indentation matter in python.
Also, when post traceback, post the full traceback, in error tags, not just the last line.
finally, num != num will NEVER evaluate True, so you if statements is useless

You don't need to post them all, just a few so the snippet can be tested.

OK, thanks for the hints. I have the feeling the continous format error is not because of NaN values. The array does look a bit odd with all the spaces in it.

def new_model():

    print(fpr) 
    print(tpr)
            
    print(np.argwhere(np.isnan(fpr))) 
    print(np.argwhere(np.isnan(tpr)))

    auc_roc = roc_auc_score(fpr, tpr)
            
    return
new_model()

fpr: [ 0. 0.98952194 1. ]
tpr: [ 0. 0.98547329 1. ]
