I'm trying to train a DNN model using one dataset with huge difference in stdev. The following scalers were tested but none of them work: MinMaxScaler, StandardScaler, RobustScaler, PowerTransformer. The reason they didn't work was that those models can achieve high predictive performance on the validation sets but they had little predictivity on external test sets. The dataset has more than 10,000 rows and 200 columns. Here are a prt of statistics of the dataset.

As the name suggests, I am using a simple RPC system between a PC (windows x64) and an embedded linux PC running ubuntu. The embedded linux pc is the RPC server and the PC is the RPC client. The RPC framework is: erpc.
I have noticed that the transaction rate I am getting is particularly low - on the order of 20 transactions/sec.
The issue is definitely not hardware related as I have an alternate RPC system (which I'm trying to replace with the contentious one) which can easily get over 1000 transactions/sec using the exact same hardware configuration.
To further prove this,I also wrote a simple python script which acts as a simple socket client or server depending on a switch. I run it on the embedded machine as a server and as a client on the pc. The script simply has the client send some random data to the server which in turn sends the data back. The client does this a few hundred times and determines the transaction rate based on this. The amount of data transmitted is of the same order as what erpc uses. Using this setup I can get 3000+ transactions/sec.
The RPC system in question is half duplex. Only a single thread is used. Server recvs, processes the request and sends the response in a loop.
Only a single socket is used for the duration of the test. I.e. no close and accepts occur during the loop. No other IO occurs. Or at least, I have refactored it for the purposes of these tests to not do any other IO.
On the Windows client side, I have a python unit test which I have run with profiling on. The results don't seem to indicate that the problem is on the client.

The server is a C++ application. I have tried profiling it with gprof but the results of that show practically no time consumed by the application at all. After reading up a bit more about how gprof works and how gprof doesn't accumulate time spent in system calls, this indicates that the program is (obviously) IO bound and that the vast majority of time is spent in blocking system calls.
I won't add the entire output here for brevity but below is an exerpt:

Using strace, the problem becomes apparent in the first recv of every request. For context, an initial header is transmitted first which indicates the amount of data the request proper contains.
Here's a couple of excerpts from the output (the full output is 2000 lines).
I used the -r, -T and -C switches which show a relative timestamp for each call, prints the time spent in each call and also shows the summary respectively.

In passing, I am not sure I completely understand the summary. The summary suggests that recv happens very quick compared to the time indicated in each call to recv.
It looks like the time spent in the first recv is what is killing the RPC system at nearly 60ms per call. Am I misreading this? I am not sure of the units but so I am guessing seconds.
So, after profiling both the client and the server, it appears the vast amount of time is spent in recv.
If we assumed that extra time spent in the intitial recv on the server side was because the client was still processing something and hadn't send it yet, that should have shown up when profiling the client.
Any suggestions you may have as to how to further debug this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
On my WS, I have a table with a schedule of values listed, broken down by labor and material, and on the other sheet is a set of perimeters (questions) that you input (number) into the cell. Based on the number, I want to copy the table of values down the sheet (looped) that many times.
In other words, 'How many Elevators?' A3=6 in cell. When I run the macro, it copies the table on the other sheet that number of times (6-1=5) since the original is counted as one.
Allocation % Scheduled Value Labor Material Total
I don't have anything started in VBA since I'm not sure how to set it up. This the results I'm looking for below.
Part of sheet 1 would be like this;
No. of Traction Banks: 5
No of Hydro Banks: 1
Total Elevators: 6
Results should take the following table and duplicate it down the second sheet like this:
ELEV #1

I am getting many zeros and the SVC is not able to learn from several class, the hyperparameters that I am using are the followings:
from sklearn import svm
clf2= svm.SVC(kernel='linear')
I order to overcome this issue I builded one dictionary with weights for each class as follows:
weight={}
for i,v in enumerate(uniqLabels):
weight[v]=labels_cluster.count(uniqLabels[i])/len(labels_cluster)
for i,v in weight.items():
print(i,v)
print(weight)
these are the numbers and output, I am just taking the numbers of element of determinated label divided by the total of elements in the labels set, the sum of these numbers is 1:

trying again with this dictionary of weights as follows:
from sklearn import svm
clf2= svm.SVC(kernel='linear',class_weight=weight)

Since I am not getting good results I really appreciate suggestions to automatically adjust the weight of each class and express that in the SVC, I don have many expierience dealing with unbalanced problems so all the suggestions are well Received.
It seems that you are doing the opposite of what you should be doing. In particular, what you want is to put higher weights on the smaller classes, so that the classifier is penalized more during training on these classes. A good point to start would be setting class_weight="balanced".

Pandas concat yields ValueError: Plan shapes are not aligned

I am parsing data from excel files and the columns of the resulting DataFrame may or may not align to a base DataFramewhere I want to stack several parsed DataFrame.
Lets call the DataFrame I parse from data A, and the base DataFrame df_A.
I read an excel shee resulting in A=

I create the base dataframe:
units = ['MUE', 'MUEB', 'SIL', 'SILB', 'AGUG', 'AGUB', 'MUEBP', 'MUELP']
df_A = pd.DataFrame(columns=units)
df_A = pd.concat([df_A, A], axis=0)
Usually with concat if A had less columns than df_A it'll be fine, but in this case the only difference in the columns is the order. the concatenation leads to the following error:
ValueError: Plan shapes are not aligned
I'd like to know how to concatenate the two dataframes with the column order given by df_A.
I've tried this and it doesn't matter whether there are more columns in the source, or target defined DataFrame - either way, the result is a dataframe that consists of a union of all supplied columns (with empty columns specified in the target, but not populated by the source populated with NaN).
Where I have been able to reproduce your error is where the column names in either the source or target dataframe include a duplicate name (or empty column names).
In your example, various columns appear more than once in your source file. I don't think concat copes very well with these kinds of duplicate columns.
import pandas as pd
s1 = [0,1,2,3,4,5]
s2 = [0,0,0,0,1,1]
A = pd.DataFrame([s2,s1],columns=['A','B','C','D','E','F'])
Resulting in:
A B C D E F
-----------
0 0 0 0 1 1
0 1 2 3 4 5
Take a subset of columns and use them to create a new dataframe called B
B = A[['A','C','E']]
A C E
-----
0 0 1
0 2 4
Create a new empty target dataframe
col_names = ['D','A','C','B']
Z = pd.DataFrame(columns=col_names)
D A C B
-------
And concatenate the two:
Z = pd.concat([B,Z],axis=0)
A C D E
0 0 NaN 1
0 2 NaN 4
Works fine!
But if I recreate the empty dataframe using columns as so:
col_names = ['D','A','C','D']
Z = pd.DataFrame(columns=col_names)
D A C D
And try to concatenate:
col_names = ['D','A','C','D']
Z = pd.DataFrame(columns=col_names)
Then I get the error you describe.
It's because of the duplicate columns in the data (SIL). See: Pandas concat gives error ValueError: Plan shapes are not aligned
