Hi @ihameed11, can you provide us with the following?

• Operating system
• Python, numpy, and tensorflow versions
• A minimum working example that raises this error

@ranjitlall operating system: windows 10 64bit python 3.9.4 numpy 1.19.5 tensorflow 2.5.0rc2 example: I was trying the same example midas_demo

Hi @ihameed11, given the error message, it seems you may not have the latest version of MIDASpy -- cat_conv() was introduced in v.1.2.1.

I've just run the MIDASpy example using your spec and don't encounter the same error (with and without using jupyter).

Please try upgrading MIDASpy by running pip install --upgrade midaspy at the command line and see if that fixes the issue.

@tsrobinson yes now it's working thank you but what about this code : for i in imputations: file_out = midas_imp_" + str(n) +.csv" i.to_csv(file_out, index=False) n += 1

I'm getting : file_out = midas_imp_" + str(n) +.csv" ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Thanks for spotting this -- the opening quotation marks were incorrect in the example. I've updated the example code (5b32c361dd11a813c62adadf334c617cfe332403), but for reference it should read:

for i in imputations:
   file_out = "midas_imp_" + str(n) + ".csv"
   i.to_csv(file_out, index=False)
   n += 1

@tsrobinson thank you

Yes, I also had this issue, had to uninstall everything via pip and reinstall as the update was not going through. Tx
