Hi , I tried to understand and facing some doubts about error which getting during execution.
Below is my dtypes :
age int64 sex object bmi float64 children int64 smoker object region object expenses float64 dtype: object
Index(['age', 'bmi', 'children', 'expenses', 'sex_female', 'sex_male', 'smoker_no', 'smoker_yes', 'region_northeast', 'region_northwest', 'region_southeast', 'region_southwest'], dtype='object')
Error : ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'male'
Question/Query : I am not able to understand why programme is trying to convert object or string into float data type. What is the need to perform conversion here.
