'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'series' python error

Question

This is my code and I keep getting this error and I am not sure how to fix it. I am probably calling the method wrong. The problem is to: Use Series method describe to calculate the descriptive statistics for the categorical data (text) columns from the dataset.

my code:

import pandas as pd 
df = pd.read_csv('Housing.csv', index_col = 0)
print('Description: ', df.describe())
print('Series description: ', df.Series.describe())
print('Histograms: ', df.hist(figsize = (8, 8)))
print('Series description: ', df.series.describe())

Answer 1

The dataframe includes columns, each of which are series, but the dataframe itself is not a series. Looks like you want to describe the entire df, then describe particular columns. If so, pick each individual column to describe, because those columns are series. See this toy example:

row1list = ['$500 -', 'www']
row2list = ['$4.00 -', 'xyz']
df = pd.DataFrame([row1list, row2list],
                  columns=['Price', 'abc'])

print(df.describe)
# <bound method NDFrame.describe of      Price  abc
# 0   $500 -  www
# 1  $4.00 -  xyz>

print(df['Price'].describe())
# count           2
# unique          2
# top       $4.00 -
# freq            1
# Name: Price, dtype: object
