I got the following error: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'year'

Question

picture of csv file containing raw data I am trying to plot a scatter graph using an online csv file i downloaded in inorder to get the linear regression. %matplotlib inline plt.scatter(df.year, df.income(US), color='red', marker='+')

Error message reads: AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'year'

Answer 1

year is an index, so you can get it like that:

plt.scatter(df.index, df["income(US)"], color='red', marker='+')

Also you will get an error AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'income' if you try to get income value like this df.income(US). This is only allowed if the name of the column does not contain special symbols. df["income(US)"] is correct.
