"Found input variables with inconsistent numbers of samples" Have I done something wrong during the train_test_split?

Question:

I am trying to logistic Regression Model, and run some test but I keep getting this error. Not really sure what I have done differently to everyone else

from sklearn import preprocessing
X = df.iloc[:,:len(df.columns)-1]
y = df.iloc[:,len(df.columns)-1]ere

This is how I am separating my columns

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=0)

TTS

logReg = LogisticRegression(n_jobs=-1)
logReg.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred = logReg.predict(X_train)
mae = mean_absolute_error(y_test, y_pred)
print("MAE:" , mae)
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

    390     )

ValueError: Found input variables with inconsistent numbers of samples: [25404, 101612]

I thought it was the way I split the columns but that doesn’t seem to be the issue
It works when the test size is 50/50 but no other test size works

Answers:

You are comparing the predicted labels for the train set with the labels for the test set, which are of different sizes, hence the error.

Replace

y_pred = logReg.predict(X_train)

with

y_pred = logReg.predict(X_test)
