Train and Test have different column names, with train having a lot of +AC- values.
Help ยท 3 Apr 2020, 12:29 ยท 7

I see a lot of values in train having something +AC. Is it some error while producing or cleaning the data which we need to remove. In this case sample submission also has the first column with AC. But if you see test, the first column ward does not have this AC thing. So do we need to submit with this AC thing or not ?

I tried just now and even the submissions have to be done in the +AC- format. The values having this AC+ format are actually very few in the training data, so for now setting them to NaN. Also if you remove the target column, train and test have the same order of columns, so you can change the name of train columns to test or vice versa to make it easy for you

You have to rename them. If you look closely, the columns names are the same with the test columns only that you have to remove the +AC... characters around them.
