python – Pandas OneHotEncoder.fit(dataframe)返回ValueError：long()的无效文字,基数为10

我正在尝试将Pandas数据帧转换为NumPy数组以使用Sklearn创建模型.我会在这里简化问题.

>>> mydf.head(10)

>>> from sklearn import preprocessing

注意IdVisita是这里的索引,数字可能不是全部连续的.

有线索吗？

解决方法:

你在这里的错误是你正在调用文档中的OneHotEncoder

The input to this transformer should be a matrix of integers

但你的df有一个单独的’cat1’列,它是dtype对象,实际上是一个String.

你应该使用LabelEcnoder：

In [13]:

le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()
le.fit(df.dropna().values)
le.classes_
C:\WinPython-64bit-3.3.3.2\python-3.3.3.amd64\lib\site-packages\sklearn\preprocessing\label.py:108: DataConversionWarning: A column-vector y was passed when a 1d array was expected. Please change the shape of y to (n_samples, ), for example using ravel().
  y = column_or_1d(y, warn=True)
Out[13]:
array(['Reescribe-medios-clases-online', 'eventos', 'grados', 'latam',
       'postgrados'], dtype=object)

注意我必须删除NaN行,因为这将引入一个不能用于排序的混合dtype,例如浮动> str不起作用
