Pandas:TypeError:float()参数必须是字符串或数字

Question

我有一个包含的数据框

user_id    date       browser  conversion  test  sex  age  country
   1    2015-12-03       IE        1         0    M   32.0   US

到目前为止,这是我的整个代码!

data["country"].fillna("missing")
data["age"].fillna(-10000, inplace=True)
data["ads_channel"].fillna("missing")
data["sex"].fillna("missing")
data['date'] = pd.to_datetime(data.date)

columns = data.columns.tolist()
columns = [c for c in columns if c not in ["test"]]
from sklearn import tree
clf = tree.DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=2, min_samples_leaf = (len(data)/100) )
clf = clf.fit(data[columns],data["test"])

我收到此错误:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number

我仍在学习编码,我想知道如何克服这个错误.任何帮助都感激不尽!

Answer 1

保留日期（时间）列的解决方案：

data['date'] = pd.to_numeric(pd.to_datetime(data['date']))

Answer 2

您还需要排除列的IIUC date：

columns = [c for c in columns if c not in ["test", 'date']]

因为错误：

TypeError：float（）参数必须是字符串或数字，而不是“ Timestamp”
