Q:

ValueError: endog must be in the unit interval

While using statsmodels, I am getting this weird error: ValueError: endog must be in the unit interval. Can someone give me more information on this error? Google is not helping. 
Code that produced the error:
"""
Multiple regression with dummy variables. 
"""

import pandas as pd
import statsmodels.api as sm
import pylab as pl
import numpy as np

df = pd.read_csv('cost_data.csv')
df.columns = ['Cost', 'R(t)', 'Day of Week']
dummy_ranks = pd.get_dummies(df['Day of Week'], prefix='days')
cols_to_keep = ['Cost', 'R(t)']
data = df[cols_to_keep].join(dummy_ranks.ix[:,'days_2':])
data['intercept'] = 1.0

print(data)

train_cols = data.columns[1:]
logit = sm.Logit(data['Cost'], data[train_cols])

result = logit.fit()

print(result.summary())

And the traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "multiple_regression_dummy.py", line 20, in <module>
    logit = sm.Logit(data['Cost'], data[train_cols])
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/statsmodels/discrete/discrete_model.py", line 404, in __init__
    raise ValueError("endog must be in the unit interval.")
ValueError: endog must be in the unit interval.

A:

I got this error when my target column had values larger than 1.
Make sure your target column is between 0 and 1 (as is required for a Logistic Regression) and try again.
For example, if you have target column with values 1-5, make 4 and 5 the positive class and 1,2,3 the negative class. Hope this helps.
