Prophet: StanModel' object has no attribute 'fit_class' Error

[tle4336]

I got the following error message when trying to use the "fit" feature. I ran Python on Anaconda environment, with Pystan's 2.14 version, Pandas's 0.20.2 version, and Python's 3.5 version. I don't understand why I encounter this issue, so could anyone please help?

Error Message:
'WARNING:pystan:numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

WARNING:pystan:Something went wrong while unpickling the StanModel. Consider recompiling.

RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)
RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xb but this version of numpy is 0xa

Sorry, but nobody could help me with the above issue?

To be able to isolate the issue, could you check if pystan is working?

import pystan
model_code = 'parameters {real y;} model {y ~ normal(0,1);}'
model = pystan.StanModel(model_code=model_code)  # this will take a minute
y = model.sampling(n_jobs=1).extract()['y']
y.mean()  # should be close to 0

@bletham Thanks for your help. Yes, it does give me the result: 0.017287202743671251. It's weird FB doesn't even address this issue in the FAQ for FB prophet;p

[bletham]

I'm sorry to say that I'm really not sure what is happening here. Could you try re-installing fbprophet and seeing if there are any errors / warnings during install? If you're using Anaconda then conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet seems to be the best way to install.

[bletham]

Actually I think the issue is something with the numpy installation. Notice the warning that Pystan is giving about not being able to import numpy multiarray. Are you able to import numpy.core.multiarray? It then says "module compiled against API version 0xb but this version of numpy is 0xa".

Could you upgrade numpy to the latest version, and perhaps also pystan?

[zerogouzi]

the pystan and fbprophet's isn't suitable, change the version will be fine.

the pystan and fbprophet's isn't suitable, change the version will be fine.

which version do you use?

This fixed it for me

I am having exactly the same problem when I instantiate the prophet model with:
m = Prophet()
m.fit(df)
I got:
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-15-1ab3c9387252> in <module>
1 m = Prophet()
----> 2 m.fit(df)

470 data = {}
471 seed = pystan.misc._check_seed(seed)
--> 472 fit = self.fit_class(data, seed)
473
474 m_pars = fit._get_param_names()

AttributeError: 'StanModel' object has no attribute 'fit_class'
I tried to downgrade with pip install fbprophet==0.3.post2 , and also tried:
pip install fbprophet --no-cache-dir --no-binary :all:
but got the same...
Any suggestion?

[ivonnics]

Please, notice that @bletham Just reopened #775 ...which address this very same issue...

[zerogouzi]

this is my package version, maybe will help you to solve your problem.
pystan 2.17.1.0
fbprophet 0.3.post2

I think pystan version is not ok.

As Sean described in #775, the current issue was not a locally-cached whl (as it was in this issue, and as I had initially thought in #775), but rather it was that we had inadvertently put a whl on pypi.

We removed the whl on pypi, and so this issue should now be resolved (again!) and if you pip install it should build properly.
