Code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from sklearn import datasets, linear_model
house_price = [245, 312, 279, 308, 199, 219, 405, 324, 319, 255]
size = [1400, 1600, 1700, 1875, 1100, 1550, 2350, 2450, 1425, 1700]
size2 = np.array(size).reshape((-1, 1))
#fitting into the model
regr = linear_model.LinearRegression()
regr.fit(size2, house_price)
print("Coefficients: \n", regr.coef_)
print("intercept: \n", regr.intercept_)

  • $\begingroup$ I guess your problem is because of your print line. use print as a function: $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Toros91 I guess it is because he is using python 3.6 $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Agreed, he needs brackets for the print. But, there is a much more nefarious problem in his way of using predict. $\endgroup$

In your current line 

print regr.predict([2000])

This will not work. The first error is the lack of brackets around the contents of your print statement which is required in Python 3. Change this first to

print(regr.predict([2000]))

However, you will see that this does not work either. I suspect you are attempting to evaluate the price for a new $size = 2000$. You will need to reshape the input to your regression for this to work. 

new_size = np.array([2000]).reshape((-1, 1))
print(regr.predict(new_size))
