Why am I getting the "ValueError: data type <class 'numpy.object_'> not inexact." while using polyfit function?

Question

我正在尝试为我的数据绘制趋势线。但是，我收到错误

ValueError: data type <class 'numpy.object_'> not inexact.

有人可以解释为什么吗？

我的数据框是 Us_corr3；

这是我的代码：

data5 = Us_corr3[['US GDP', 'US Unemployment']]

x = data5['US GDP']

y = data5['US Unemployment']

plt.scatter(x, y)


z = np.polyfit(x, y, 1)

p = np.poly1d(z)

plt.plot(x,p(x),"r--")

plt.show()

它说；

ValueError: data type <class 'numpy.object_'> not inexact.

如果 x，从您的 Series 派生的数组是 object dtype，它会产生您的错误：

In [67]: np.polyfit(np.arange(3).astype(object),np.arange(3),1)

像这样的函数需要数字 dtype 数组。首先清理你的数据框！
