- Technically, it's a warning, not an error, and can be ignored for now, as shown in the bottom section of this answer.
- I recommend doing as the warning says, specify the
x and y parameters for seaborn.regplot, or any of the other seaborn plot functions with this warning.
-
sns.regplot(x=x, y=y), where x and y are parameters for regplot, to which you are passing x and y variables.
- Beginning in version 0.12, passing any positional arguments, except
data, will result in an error or misinterpretation.
- For those concerned with backward compatibility, write a script to fix existing code, or don't update to 0.12 (once available).
-
x and y are used as the data variable names because that is what is used in the OP. Data can be assigned to any variable name (e.g. a and b).
- This also applies to
FutureWarning: Pass the following variable as a keyword arg: x, which can be generated by plots only requiring x or y, such as:
-
sns.countplot(pen['sex']), but should be sns.countplot(x=pen['sex']) or sns.countplot(y=pen['sex'])
import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd
pen = sns.load_dataset('penguins')
x = pen.culmen_depth_mm # or bill_depth_mm
y = pen.culmen_length_mm # or bill_length_mm
# plot without specifying the x, y parameters
sns.regplot(x, y)
# plot with specifying the x, y parameters
sns.regplot(x=x, y=y)
# or use
sns.regplot(data=pen, x='bill_depth_mm', y='bill_length_mm')
Ignore the warnings
- I do not advise using this option.
- Once seaborn v0.12 is available, this option will not be viable.
- From version 0.12, the only valid positional argument will be
data, and passing other arguments without an explicit keyword will result in an error or misinterpretation.
import warnings
warnings.simplefilter(action="ignore", category=FutureWarning)
# plot without specifying the x, y parameters
sns.regplot(x, y)
