python - Dendrogram: ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all()

Question

I am trying to plot Dendrogram to cluster data but this error is stopping me. my date is here "https://assets.datacamp.com/production/repositories/655/datasets/2a1f3ab7bcc76eef1b8e1eb29afbd54c4ebf86f2/eurovision-2016.csv"

I first chose columns to work with

target_col = df_euro["To country"]
feat = df_euro[["Jury A","Jury B","Jury C","Jury D","Jury E"]]

#Convert them into ndarrays
x = feat.to_numpy(dtype ='float32')
y = target_col.to_numpy()

# Calculate the linkage: mergings
mergings = linkage(x, method = 'complete')
# Plot the dendrogram
dendrogram(
    mergings,
    labels = y,
    leaf_rotation = 90,
    leaf_font_size = 6
)
plt.show()

But I'm getting this error which I can't understand. I googled it and checked that both has same shape (1066,5) and (1066,) There is No NA in both features and target_col

I know the issue is with labels but i couldn't find away to solve it. find Any help will be really appreciated :)

Edit: Here is entire traceback

ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

Answer 1

Just in case someone else is searching for the same issue, by converting the labels to list, it will work.

samples= df_euro.iloc[:, 2:7].values[:42]
country_names= list(df_euro.iloc[:, 1].values[:42])

mergings = linkage(samples, method='single')

# Plot the dendrogram
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(15, 10))
fig  = dendrogram(mergings, labels=country_names)
plt.show()
