ValueError: Must pass DataFrame with boolean values only

问题

Question

In this datafile, the United States is broken up into four regions using the "REGION" column.

Create a query that finds the counties that belong to regions 1 or 2, whose name starts with 'Washington', and whose POPESTIMATE2015 was greater than their POPESTIMATE 2014.

This function should return a 5x2 DataFrame with the columns = ['STNAME', 'CTYNAME'] and the same index ID as the census_df (sorted ascending by index).

CODE

    def answer_eight():
    counties=census_df[census_df['SUMLEV']==50]
    regions = counties[(counties[counties['REGION']==1]) | (counties[counties['REGION']==2])]
    washingtons = regions[regions[regions['COUNTY']].str.startswith("Washington")]
    grew = washingtons[washingtons[washingtons['POPESTIMATE2015']]>washingtons[washingtons['POPESTIMATES2014']]]
    return grew[grew['STNAME'],grew['COUNTY']]

outcome = answer_eight()
assert outcome.shape == (5,2)
assert list (outcome.columns)== ['STNAME','CTYNAME']
print(tabulate(outcome, headers=["index"]+list(outcome.columns),tablefmt="orgtbl"))

ERROR

ValueError: Must pass DataFrame with boolean values only

I am clueless. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks

You're trying to use a different shaped df to mask your df, this is wrong, additionally the way you're passing the conditions is being used incorrectly. When you compare a column or series in a df with a scalar to produce a boolean mask you should pass just the condition, not use this successively.

def answer_eight():
    counties=census_df[census_df['SUMLEV']==50]
    # this is wrong you're passing the df here multiple times
    regions = counties[(counties[counties['REGION']==1]) | (counties[counties['REGION']==2])]
    # here you're doing it again
    washingtons = regions[regions[regions['COUNTY']].str.startswith("Washington")]
    # here you're doing here again also
    grew = washingtons[washingtons[washingtons['POPESTIMATE2015']]>washingtons[washingtons['POPESTIMATES2014']]]
    return grew[grew['STNAME'],grew['COUNTY']]

you want:

def answer_eight():
    counties=census_df[census_df['SUMLEV']==50]
    regions = counties[(counties['REGION']==1]) | (counties['REGION']==2])]
    washingtons = regions[regions['COUNTY'].str.startswith("Washington")]
    grew = washingtons[washingtons['POPESTIMATE2015']>washingtons['POPESTIMATES2014']]
    return grew[['STNAME','COUNTY']]

回答2:

def answer_eight():
    df=census_df[census_df['SUMLEV']==50]
    #df=census_df
    df=df[(df['REGION']==1) | (df['REGION']==2)]
    df=df[df['CTYNAME'].str.startswith('Washington')]
    df=df[df['POPESTIMATE2015'] > df['POPESTIMATE2014']]
    df=df[['STNAME','CTYNAME']]
    print(df.shape)
    return df.head(5)

回答3:


def answer_eight():
    county = census_df[census_df['SUMLEV']==50]
    req_col = ['STNAME','CTYNAME']

    region = county[(county['REGION']<3) & (county['POPESTIMATE2015']>county['POPESTIMATE2014']) & (county['CTYNAME'].str.startswith('Washington'))]
    region = region[req_col]

    return region
answer_eight()
