'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'convert_objects'

Question

My code-

data = data.replace("?", np.nan)
data = data.convert_objects(convert_numeric=True)

data.isnull().sum()

ERROR-

enter image description here

      6 data.isnull().sum()

   5143     def __setattr__(self, name: str, value) -> None:

AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'convert_objects

How can I solve this error?

It seems that convert_objects has been deprecated and replaced by convert_dtypes. — user11989081

The method X.convert_objects() seems to have been deprecated. I might be late to answer this, and the answer might not be entirely correct, but

X = X._convert(numeric=True)

might work for you. It did for me.

You could also check out convert_dtypes() but upon using this I ran into issues while performing operations like mean() (Cannot perform reduction 'mean' with string dtype).

Do you know why it was deprecated? :/
