keras - I was training an Ann machine learning model using GridSearchCV and got stuck with an IndexError in gridSearchCV

Question

My model starts to train and while executing for sometime it gives an error :- IndexError: index 37 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 37

It executes properly for my model without using gridsearchCV with fixed parameters

Here is my code

    from keras.wrappers.scikit_learn import KerasClassifier
    from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
    from keras.models import Sequential
    from keras.layers import Dense
    def build_classifier(optimizer, nb_layers,unit):
        classifier = Sequential()
        classifier.add(Dense(units = unit, kernel_initializer = 'uniform', activation = 'relu', input_dim = 14))
        i = 1
        while i <= nb_layers:
            classifier.add(Dense(activation="relu", units=unit, kernel_initializer="uniform"))
            i += 1
        classifier.add(Dense(units = 38, kernel_initializer = 'uniform', activation = 'softmax'))
        classifier.compile(optimizer = optimizer, loss = 'sparse_categorical_crossentropy', metrics = ['accuracy'])
        return classifier
    classifier = KerasClassifier(build_fn = build_classifier)
    parameters = {'batch_size': [10,25],
                  'epochs': [100,200],
                  'optimizer': ['adam'],
                  'nb_layers': [5,6,7],
                  'unit':[48,57,76]
                 }
    grid_search = GridSearchCV(estimator = classifier,
                               param_grid = parameters,
                               scoring = 'accuracy',
                              cv=5,n_jobs=-1)
    grid_search = grid_search.fit(X_train, y_train)
    best_parameters = grid_search.best_params_
    best_accuracy = grid_search.best_score_

The error IndexError: index 37 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 37 means that there is no element with index 37 in your object.

In python, if you have an object like array or list, which has elements indexed numerically, if it has n elements, indexes will go from 0 to n-1 (this is the general case, with the exception of reindexing in dataframes).

So, if you ahve 37 elements you can only retrieve elements from 0-36.
